Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035
Representation ID: 1526

Respondent: Natural England
Natural England notes that this is a large allocation site adjacent to the AONB and close the SPA/SAC/Ramsar/SSSI. We welcome clause 6, which requires mitigation for potential impacts on nature conservation sites - our view is that the key issues will be recreational disturbance and water quality (both surface water and sewerage). Given the status of Apuldram WwTW, Natural England's recommendations for policy S31 are particularly important for this site allocation.
Clause 3 is also vital - a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment will be necessary to identify whether development is possible without harming the setting of the AONB.
