  • Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex
    Habitat Action Plan for Sussex Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex 1. Introduction and Definition One of the most urgent environmental problems we are facing in the 21 st Century is the loss of global biodiversity. As 90% of the population live in cities, towns and villages, it is here that this loss will have the most impact on our quality of life. The increasing density and the intensity of urban living has a major impact on the environment and our use of natural resources. Although we are part of the problem, we are also part of the solution. People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex sets out the action necessary to maintain and enhance the variety of life all around us. The underlying principle of People and Wildlife (Sussex Urban BAP) is that a healthy environment is an essential requirement for both our quality of life and for wildlife. We can achieve this through changing our attitudes and actions towards the natural environment within our everyday lives by: • Encouraging everyone to make environmentally informed decisions as our actions can and do affect the environment; • Looking at actions we can take as individuals or as members of a community based group, part of a school or college, employer or employee of a business or as decision-makers who help shape local policies; • Recognising that biodiversity is an essential indicator of the health of the environment and hence our quality of life. The Government has made clear the links between biodiversity, quality of life and sustainable development.

  • 8. Strategic Sites
    8. STRATEGIC SITES Introduction 8.1 This chapter sets out the policies for the strategic sites within the National Park. These sites represent one-off opportunities for developments of exceptional quality. They have the potential to make a substantial contribution towards sustainable growth and deliver multiple ecosystems services, which in turn promotes the National Park’s purposes and helps to achieve the vision set out in this Plan. The strategic sites are: Shoreham Cement Works, Upper Beading; and North Street Quarter and adjacent East gate area, Lewes. 8.2 Whilst the former ‘Syngenta’ site in Fernhurst is also a strategic site, it has already been allocated for a sustainable mixed-use development incorporating residential (approximately 200 homes), commercial development and other suitable uses in the Fernhurst Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP), which was made in 2016. 8.3 This chapter identifies how the strategic sites can collectively and individually contribute to meeting the National Park’s purposes, and how their development could be justified by exceptional circumstances and be in the public interest, in accordance with Policy SD3: Major Development in the South Downs National Park. 8.4 There are also three strategic housing allocations, these are set out with all the other allocations in Chapter 10. Land at Old Malling Farm in Lewes (Allocation Policy SD77) is a greenfield site that will make a significant contribution to meeting the unmet housing need of Lewes and was originally allocated in the Lewes Joint Core Strategy. The Depot / Brickworks site and former Holmbush Caravan Park, both located in Midhurst and both brownfield sites, will contribute significantly to the unmet housing need of Midhurst.

    Agenda Item No. 5A Committee: Regulatory Planning and Highways Sub Committee Date: 18 September 2002 Report by: Assistant Director - Policy Proposal: Construction of a new road between A259 Drove Road roundabout and port area south of Newhaven to Seaford railway and creek including environmental buffer and landscaping Site Address: Newhaven Eastside Applicant: Assistant Director - Development Application No. LW/2061/CC Key Issues: (i) Development Plan (ii) Environmental Statement (iii) Ecological implications SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS To grant planning permission subject to conditions. CONSIDERATION BY DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORT AND ENVIRONMENT 1. Introduction 1.1 This application is for the renewal of planning permission for the Port Access Road at Eastside, Newhaven. The original permission (ref. LW/1751/CC) was granted in 1996, subject to conditions, and expired in 2001. The current application was registered prior to the date of expiry. 1.2 Although the original application was accompanied by a voluntary environmental appraisal, which provided an assessment of the likely impacts of the proposed development, involving both the road and ‘environmental buffer’, the current application is accompanied by a formal Environmental Statement, as it was subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). An EIA was required primarily as a result of the increase in significance attached to the Tide Mills Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI), within which most of the application site resides, particularly in respect of the increased importance attached to the Great Crested Newt population, a protected species. 1.3 The current application is materially identical to the original and all the relevant issues relating to it have already been considered as part of the original permission (refer to the County Planning Officer’s report at Appendix A).
