Representation ID: 5394

Received: 14/04/2013

Representation Summary:

14.10
There is no mention of monitoring programmes and has been little evidence of monitoring at any sites in Hastings. You do not have to build alongside SSSIs sites alongside these should be withdrawn from the plan.
None of the policies mention biodiversity monitoring. The same goes for those impacting local wildlife sites. You and I both know that as you build on areas of woodland and meadows biodiversity will decline. Your policies are weak and will not prevent this.
