Representation ID: 2729
Received: 07/02/2019
Respondent: Sussex Wildlife Trust
Representation Summary:
SWT is supportive of CDC's commitment to an improved integrated transport network which we hope will conform to the Government's transport hierarchy.
Raise deep concerns about new Birdham Road to A27 Fishbourne Link road proposal as we are aware of the priority habitats of chalk stream and coastal grazing marsh being present, along with the close proximity to Lavant Marsh LWS and Chichester Harbour SPA/SAC/SSSI and Ramsar.
Remind CDC this area is within the Site of Special Scientific Interest Impact Risk Zone, which affects the SAC, SPA and Ramsar designations.
Question the survey data against biodiversity needs.
