Designated sites - Combe Haven Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI); within
'Impact Risk Zone' (IRZ) for the SSSI.
If the allocation is likely to have a significant effect on the SSSI, appropriate mitigation measures need to be specified.
One example would be hydrological impact; such as SuDS/ground water/surface water run-off and pollutants entering the ditch network feeding the SSSI, with potential to harm the botanical, invertebrate and bird interest of the SSSI.
