Both the Environment Agency and Natural England have questioned the suitability of this site for residential development. The assessments carried out so far do not show that the proposed SuDS design will provide adequate protection to the Pevensey Levels to protect them in perpetuity from water borne pollution. I understand that any permission granted without the approval of these two agencies will result in a legal challenge.
Moreover, the whole site is subject to flooding - why build houses on a site that floods regularly?

Recent study by Geoffrey Lawson C.Eng has made it very clear that the information provided by the applicant to prevent any damage on the Pevensey Levels from drainage water is not workable and will fail. This would be disastrous for this area which is a SAC /Ramsar site with international protection.
The conclusion is that the Pevensey Levels will be under continual threat of flooding and discharge of silty water which will have an adverse effect on its ecological balance.
This area needs to be protected therefore the development should not be considered any further.
