Respondent: Sussex Wildlife Trust

SWT not confident that the plan is deliverable:
- no assessment of whether possible to avoid all significant adverse effects given the amount of development proposed in such close proximity to internationally designated sites. Lack of data on Dark-bellied Brent Goose.
- Habitat Regulations clear that the precautionary principle should be applied when it comes to likely significant effects and deliverability, SWT concerned about 5YHLS.
- Refer to Arun DC application P/140/16/OUT regarding functionally linked supporting habitat.
