We strongly support the main modifications made to Policy P14, in particular the references to blue as well as green infrastructure and the addition of wording linking GBI delivery to the Local Nature Recovery Strategy.

In our Regulation 19 comments (our ref. 420345, 17 March 2023) we highlighted an overlap between the Runcton Horticultural Development Area (HDA) and one of the strategic wildlife corridors set out in Policy NE4. We therefore strongly support the modification to the proposed HDA extension shown in Map E3a (MO2) which no longer crosses into the strategic wildlife corridor. We have no further comment to make on this modification.

Natural England supports the inclusion of additional text within Policy E4 ensuring that the scale of development will not have a significant effect upon the South Downs National Park (SDNP) and its setting (requirement 7) and requiring development to enhance and protect Strategic Wildlife Corridors (requirement 11). We do however feel the policy could be strengthened by requiring large-scale proposals to assess their impact on the national park via a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA), or by making reference to Policy NE2.
Require large scale proposals to assess impact on the park via an LVIA - or cross refer to Policy NE2.

We are pleased to see that our comments made at Regulation 19 (our ref. 420345, 17 March 2023) stage have been taken into consideration and policy requirement 9 has been brought in line with Policy E8, requiring all new caravan and camping sites to be located where they will not compromise essential features of internationally and nationally designated landscape and nature conservation sites. We have no further comments to make on this modification.
