Why it was refused
- The development of two dwellings with required amenity and parking spaces, on this plot, would result in overdevelopment of the site, which would fail to respect the pattern of development adversely affecting the appearance and overriding character of the area, resulting in harm to visual amenity within the locality. The limited benefits, including contribution to the Councils housing land supply, would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh this identified harm. It would therefore conflict with saved policy EN27 of the Wealden Local Plan 1998, HAIL D1, HAIL D2 of the Hailsham Neighbourhood Plan 2020, paragraph 11, 135 and 139 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The application site lies within the hydrological catchment/zone of influence of the Pevensey Levels SAC, Ramsar site and SSSI. The submitted drainage strategy fails to demonstrate that surface water runoff from the development would be subject to an adequate treatment train prior to discharge from the site. In particular, the scheme does not provide two-stage SuDS, or an equivalent evidenced form of water-quality mitigation, to intercept, treat and attenuate pollutants arising from the proposed development before runoff enters the receiving drainage network. In the absence of such information, there remains a credible hydrological pathway for contaminants, including sediments, hydrocarbons, metals, nutrients and other urban pollutants, to discharge from the site and affect the water-dependent habitats and species of the Pevensey Levels. The Local Planning Authority, as competent authority, is unable to conclude beyond reasonable scientific doubt that the development, either alone or in combination with other plans or projects, would not adversely affect the integrity of the Pevensey Levels SAC/Ramsar site. The proposal is therefore contrary to Regulations 63 and 70 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, paragraphs 187, 193, 194 and 195 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024, Policy WCS12 of the Wealden District Core Strategy Local Plan 2013, and saved Policies EN1 and CS2 of the Wealden Local Plan 1998. pdnRS.docx 3.
