Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1536

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Natural England

Representation Summary:

Natural England notes that the HRA states that Hunston connects to Pagham WwTW. The Examination of the Arun Local Plan concluded that the headroom at Pagham WwTW would not support all of the housing allocations in Pagham, so connections to other treatment works in Arun were needed. Natural England would not support increasing the discharge consent at Pagham WwTW due to impacts on the SPA/Ramsar. Therefore, there is likely to be a significant effect from the Hunston allocation, in combination with planned development in Arun.

Clause 9 should read 'run-off into a designated site' and include waste water quality impacts.
