  • “Ringmer to 2030” Appendix A
    “Ringmer to 2030” Appendix A Appendix A summarises the evidence collected by the Ringmer Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, upon which the policies of the Neighbourhood Plan are based. Ringmer viewed from the former chalkpits of the Lewes Downs SAC. The B2192 from Lewes to Ringmer passes immediately below the SAC, and then snakes towards Ringmer village, invisible behind the trees in the middle distance. Mill Plain, to the right, and the farmland either side of the B2192 are within the South Downs National Park. Morning peak hour traffic queues along the section of road visible here are due to the over-capacity B2192-A26 junction at Earwig Corner. Ringmer Parish Council August 2014 Section 1 Evidence supporting the Introduction Section 2 Evidence supporting the Vision for Ringmer in 2030 Section 3 Evidence supporting the four Key Principles Section 4 Evidence supporting the General Planning Policies for Ringmer Section 5 Evidence supporting the policies for Ringmer’s Countryside & Heritage Section 6 Evidence supporting the policies for Employment in Ringmer Section 7 Evidence supporting the policies for Residential Development in Ringmer Section 8 Evidence supporting the policies for Social & Leisure Facilities in Ringmer Section 9 Evidence supporting the policies for Infrastructure Requirements Section 10 Evidence supporting the Village Design Statement 1 Section 1 Evidence supporting the Introduction 1.1 The statistical evidence in this section is taken from the East Sussex in Figures (ESIF) website.

It is an exceptionally beautiful medieval landscape covering 564 square miles across the counties of East and West Sussex, Kent and Surrey. The High Weald AONB Joint Advisory Committee is a partnership established in 1989 of 15 local authorities, Defra, Natural England and organisations representing farming, woodland, access and community interests. The JAC is responsible for publishing and monitoring the statutory AONB Management Plan. The JAC is supported by a small, dedicated staff team, the High Weald AONB Unit, which provides advice on how to conserve and enhance the AONB. The advice provided by the AONB Unit assists public bodies and statutory undertakers to meet their duty as set out in Section 85 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 to have regard to the purpose of conserving and enhancing the natural beauty of AONBs in making decisions that affect it. The scope of the advice provided by the High Weald AONB Unit is set by the statutory High Weald AONB Management Plan, which has been adopted by all partner authorities, as ‘their policy for the management of the area and for the carrying out of their functions in relation to it’. Unlike National Park authorities, the High Weald AONB Unit is not a statutory body but an advisory one.

  • Fingerpost Controlled Vocabulary
    Appendix A: Fingerpost Controlled Vocabulary This controlled vocabulary has been compiled by Richard Anderson, Archaeologist, as part of the 2015/16 Exmoor Historic Signs Project. It provides a useful thesaurus for identifying and describing parts of a fingerpost, and a common scheme of reference for discussing pre-1964 fingerposts. ANNULUS A ring shaped finial. See ‘FINIAL’. FINIAL 46 ARM 47 On a FINGERPOST, a projecting sign board indicating the direction of travel to a place named on that ARM and displaying the distance to that place from the FINGERPOST, sometimes also displaying the name of the route indicated. Can terminate in a variety of styles, with Somerset examples typically using CHEVRON TIP or SQUARE TIP. Also referred to as a ‘FINGER’. BASEPLATE A flat plate, typically brazed or welded to the lower terminus of the POST, serving to further secure the POST in the ground by preventing deviation from the perpendicular. CHEVRON TIP Describing the end of an ARM furthest from the POST and pointing in the direction of travel which exhibits the arrow-like shape of a letter ‘V’ on its side. DIRECTION See ‘ARM’. PLATE 48 FINGER See ‘ARM’. FINGER BLADE The flat, projecting section of a FINGER on which place-names and distances are displayed, a label used to differentiate this area from the FINGER COLLAR on an INTEGRAL COLLAR FINGER. FINGER The tubular section of a FINGER which slides over the COLLAR SPIGOT, a label used to differentiate this area from the FINGER BLADE on an INTEGRAL COLLAR FINGER. FINGER FIXING A FIXING BOLT securing the FINGER COLLAR to the BOLT SPIGOT, and ensuring the FINGER points in the correct direction.
