SWT is concerned that the impacts on Pagham Harbour SPA and in particular the importance of functionally linked supporting habitat for Dark-bellied Brent Geese, have not been sufficiently considered by CDC. As mentioned previously we do not think it is sufficient to simply use policy wording to require mitigation. For the allocation to be deliverable there must be sufficient confidence that avoidance of adverse impacts can be achieved. In the case of policy AL8, there needs to be recognition that both recreational disturbance and the loss of functionally linked supporting habitat needs to be avoided.
