    Appendix P Landscape Character Type P: Low Weald

    Appendix P Landscape Character Type P: Low Weald The Low Weald comprises a gently undulating lowland vale landscape found on the dense Weald clays that are located in the north of the South Downs. This landscape type forms only a small part of the area known as the Low Weald that extends north and east well beyond the boundary of the South Downs. Description Key Characteristics ◼ Mixed geology of dense Wealden clays with limestone and sandstone bands gives rise to a gently undulating lowland vale. ◼ Drained by numerous branching streams, which have carved narrow valleys into the Weald clay. Ponds, marshes and damp, low-lying meadows alongside streams are key ecological features. ◼ Small-scale patchwork of irregular fields of arable and pasture divided by a well-developed historic hedgerow network with hedgerow oaks or bordered by sinuous woodland edges. ◼ Deciduous woodland copses are a feature, including ancient, species-rich and ecologically important woodlands that were traditionally intensively managed for fuel and timber. ◼ Linear strips of remnant woodland (shaws) are distinctive between field and along the narrow valley streams - this tree cover means watercourses are often indiscernible within the wider landscape. ◼ A number of large ponds, representing hammerponds associated with the Wealden iron industry or later mill ponds, add to the historic time depth and ecological diversity. ◼ Settlement pattern is characterised by a high density of dispersed settlement – comprising isolated farmsteads of medieval origin set within areas of early enclosure surrounded by woodland, often assarted fields. ◼ Later encroachment around the edge of the commons has resulted in common edge settlement around a ‘village green’.

    Duty to Cooperate: Statement of Common Ground Cross-Boundary Working and Meeting Housing Needs

    Duty to cooperate: Statement of common ground Cross-boundary working and meeting housing needs This agreement is between: Lewes District Council South Downs National Park Authority Adur District Council Arun District Council Brighton and Hove City Council Chichester District Council Crawley Borough Council Eastbourne Borough Council Hastings Borough Council Horsham District Council Mid Sussex District Council Rother District Council Wealden District Council Worthing Borough Council Map 1: Lewes district in context 1 1. Background 1.1 Section 110 of the Localism Act 2011 places a legal duty on local planning authorities and other prescribed bodies to cooperate with each other on strategic planning matters insofar as they are relevant to their administrative areas throughout the preparation of their development plan documents. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2012 reiterates this duty and requires an independent inspector to assess whether the development plan they are examining has been prepared in accordance with the duty to cooperate. 1.2 It is expected that engagement and cooperation will be constructive, active and ongoing in order to maximise effectiveness throughout plan preparation as well as implementation, delivery and subsequent review. The national Planning Practice Guidance confirms that this is not a duty to agree but that local planning authorities should make every effort to secure the necessary cooperation on cross-boundary strategic matters before submitting development plan documents for examination. The examination will test whether the duty has been complied with. 2. Purpose 2.1 This statement of common ground sets out how Lewes District Council and South Downs National Park Authority have actively and positively sought to comply with the duty to cooperate in the preparation of the Joint Core Strategy development plan document on strategic planning matters, with the main cross-boundary factor affecting Lewes district being housing provision.

    SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER Page 28 SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER March 2009 Notice Regarding Elections at the AGM by Clare Jeffers on Behalf of the Committee

    SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER Page 28 SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER March 2009 Notice regarding Elections at the AGM by Clare Jeffers on behalf of the committee At the indoor meeting last November the Sussex Moth Group committee talked about a proposal for formalising the election of committee members. The idea was that any committee member planning to stand down from their position should ideally make this known well in advance of the AGM, so that any upcoming 'vacancy' can be advertised to all our members in the Autumn news- letter and/or at the Winter indoor meeting. The committee supposed that advertising vacancies in this manner would give all members an equal opportunity to put themselves forward for a position on the committee and the committee proposed that, in the interests of fairness, elections would then be carried out by secret ballot - either by placing ballot papers in a box at the AGM, or by B l 'postal vote' in sealed envelope to the secretary. As it happens, our current Chairman, Sam Bayley, o x w announced at that meeting his intention to stand down at the next AGM and this fact was made o r t known to all members through the distribution of minutes from that meeting; any members willing h S to take on the position of Chairman were invited to put themselves forward. n o u t b The situation we find ourselves in now is that only one member, Steve Teale, has put themselves y G r forward for the Chairman's position and no one has expressed an interest in taking over any of the a e other positions on the committee; it therefore seems that the committee's original proposal to m e elect the officers of the committee by ballot is impractical.
