Representation ID: 1530

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Natural England

Representation Summary:

The Sustainability Appraisal identifies a problem with waste water treatment for this allocation. Please see Natural England's comments on S31, which apply to this site, in terms of avoiding an adverse effect on the integrity of Chichester Harbour SPA/SAC/Ramsar from water quality impacts.

Clause 8 should be amended as potential issues include recreational disturbance and water quality from foul sewerage.

Reference should be made in the supporting text to the Solent Wader and Brent Goose Strategy which maps important areas for SPA birds, and provides guidance on mitigation.
