Recognises practical difficulties in guaranteeing nutrient neutrality.
Proposes ‘appropriate mitigation’ [as per policy NE6] has regard for existing residents and the commercial viability of businesses, and is proportionate to the scale of development proposed to ensure it doesn’t render development unviable or overburden.
Premier agree with the premise of Draft Policy NE6 and recognise the need to address water and nutrient neutrality issues. That said, Premier acknowledge the practical difficulties in guaranteeing nutrient neutral position for the lifetime of the development and suggest the ‘appropriate mitigation’ has regard for existing residents and the commercial viability of businesses and is proportionate to the scale of development proposed to ensure this doesn’t not render development unviable and to avoid overburdening local residents and businesses.
Premier recognise the unique qualities of the Chichester Marina’s location and the areas’ international and national designated habitats. With this is mind and factoring in Premier’s responsibilities as the long-term manager and steward of the Site, Premier is committed to protecting Chichester Marina’s sensitive habitats in the interests of protecting local wildlife.
