Combe Valley: The planning authority has failed in its duty to assess the environmental impact, according to Natural England |
Natural England - the Statutory Environment Body formed through a merger between the Countryside Agency and English Nature - has put in an official objection to the proposed Bexhill-Hastings Link Road.
They make three main objections:
- The potential impact to Marline Valley Woods SSSI [Site of Special Scientific Interest] has not been adequately assessed or mitigated for.
- The potential impact to Combe Haven SSSI has not been adequately assessed or mitigated for.
- The potential impact on protected species has not been adequately assessed or mitigated for.
The objection from Natural England lists numerous mistakes in the Environmental Statement submitted by East Sussex Council. Read the full text of Natural England's objection
