    Newsletter Friday, 14 June 2019 "Thank you for taking my daughter to Wales and giving her such an incredible opportunity. When she came home she seemed 5 years older! She had the time of her life and has not stopped talking about it since. She returned full of confidence and a belief that she can do anything." (Year 7 mum) Confidence – Opportunity – Potential Year 7 pushed themselves to the limit in Snowdonia participating in some really adventurous and challenging activities last week; Year 8 showed resilience and grit as they coped with some inclement weather in France after half term; they have also just enjoyed competing in the Copthorne “Bake-off” challenge, judged by professional chefs, with the cakes, scones and sandwiches shared with their parents; Year 6 children are cycling their way towards passing Bikeability awards (the HM failed his cycling proficiency test when he was 11!); children swam well at Ardingly despite not having trained in the school pool for several weeks (it is now open again!); Emi W came first in the IAPS National Under 12 Butterfly final and Katie F was second in the U11 Breaststroke event, held at the National Aquatic Centre in London. Our young chess players were magnificent in the UKI Championships, with the girls team victorious and the boys in second place; our wonderful “Carnival Float” committee were out in force last weekend preparing for tomorrows Horley Carnival; “Moving up“ morning enabled children from Oaks to Year 3 to spend time meeting their new teachers and classmates from September; sadly, Year 2 Rock pooling, Wednesdays sport and Thursday night Year 5 camping have all fallen foul of the weather, BUT the last two weeks have helped to develop children’s confidence, provide them with a wide range of opportunities, and has helped them realise their potential.

  • Elegant and Impressive Wing of a Fine Victorian House
    ELEGANT AND IMPRESSIVE WING OF A FINE VICTORIAN HOUSE REID HOUSE, MILL HALL CUCKFIELD, WEST SUSSEX REID HOUSE, MILL HALL, WHITEMANS GREEN, CUCKFIELD, WEST SUSSEX RH17 5HX Entrance porch and hall ♦ drawing room ♦ dining room ♦ kitchen and sitting room ♦ loggia ♦ laundry / cloakroom ♦ pantry ♦ master bedroom with en suite shower room ♦ 2 further bedrooms ♦ bathroom ♦ separate WC ♦ box room ♦ parking area ♦ garden ♦ about a third of an acre in all ♦ EPC rating D Description Mill Hall dates from 1856, the wing forming Reid House is believed to have been added between 1890-95. The extension was clearly added as the ‘show wing’, with rooms of truly impressive proportions: a grand ballroom (now the drawing room), a handsome dining room (now the kitchen and sitting room) and two large bedrooms, ideally placed to take in the panoramic views to the north. The home of the eponymous Reid family from 1907-1947, it then became a well-respected school for the deaf until 1996 when it was divided into three properties. Reid House was at this time acquired by our clients. During their refurbishment of the property the house was carefully returned to its former glory: suspended ceilings were removed to reveal elaborate ornamental plasterwork, the panelling uncovered and original Victorian flooring restored. The result is an elegant and impressive period house, yet with all the warmth of a comfortable family home. The full extent of the layout and generous room sizes can be seen on the floor plans that follow. Outside Space Reid House is approached via a shared private driveway, which leads to a parking area providing ample parking for a number of cars.

  • Settlement Sustainability Review (May 2015)
    Mid Sussex District Council Settlement Sustainability Review May 2015 1. Introduction 1.1 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduced, for the first time, the statutory objective for planning to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. The National Planning Policy Framework (2012) re-affirms that the purpose of the planning system is to achieve sustainable development. It states that the planning system should perform the following roles: An economic role – contributing to building a strong, responsive and competitive economy, by ensuring that sufficient land of the right type is available in the right places and at the right time to support growth and innovation; and by identifying and coordinating development requirements, including the provision of infrastructure; A social role – supporting strong, vibrant and healthy communities, by providing the supply of housing required to meet the needs of present and future generations; and by creating a high quality built environment, with accessible local services that reflect the community’s needs and support its health, social and cultural well-being; and An environmental role – contributing to protecting and enhancing our natural, built and historic environment; and, as part of this, helping to improve biodiversity, use natural resources prudently, minimise waste and pollution, and mitigate and adapt to climate change including moving to a low carbon economy. 1.2 The National Planning Policy Framework states that development plans should set out a clear strategy for allocating sufficient land which is suitable for development within their area, but also take account of the diverse roles and character of different areas and recognise the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside and support thriving rural communities within it.
