The Policy Wording will not help local nature recovery if it only applies to areas already identified as being of importance to biodiversity or areas that could become important. Obviously, these areas need to be protected, but the Council should also be aiming for recovery of areas that have become degraded.

The snappy punchline of 'Green to the core' and 'Live well locally' is a bold attempt to show a commitment to protecting rural communities and local ecology but your HELAA land allocation of CAT0001 and potential site CAT0016 in Catsfield fly in the face of these claims/promises.
The proposal of 60 new houses (some proposing to be built on protected AONB land) in this small rural village (doubling the size of the main village), is absolutely shocking and I object strongly to these sites being included for allocation in this plan.
These proposals would not only destroy ancient woodland, biodiversity and protected wildlife habitats, they would also severely impact the lives of local residents with increased pollution and a serious decline in the already insufficient utilties and local infrastructure.

I'm a little concerned that the criteria (iii) that "directs BNG to where it can be of most benefit" will allow developers to increase BNG offsite, even to non-local areas.

To be sure that a development will not harm potential biodiversity gains, the objectives and recommendations of the Sussex LNRS should be used as the baseline against which any potential harms/gains are measured, not the reports of ecologists paid for by developers.

I strongly support nature recovery in East Sussex. As a MINIMUM we must at east preserve the natural environment where it exists, and prevent degrading the environment through inappropriate building. This means: Rother should REJECT planning applications to develop greenfield sites in the High Weald National Landscape area. Example: the recent Primmers Green application to build houses on High Weald green fields.

Nature Recovery areas should take into account the ecological importance of dark skies / lighting. This impacts on birds, insects, mammals
