ISSUES and OPTIONS SUMMARY This Is a Discussion Paper to Canvass Views of Members and Others ISSUES AND OPTIONS SUMMARY This is a discussion paper to canvass views of Members and others. Comments, including proposals for other options and courses of action, are welcome. TOPIC: Use of Article 4 Directions in Conservation Areas ISSUE TO BE CONSIDERED An approach to future implementation of Article 4 Directions WHAT OUTCOMES ARE YOU SEEKING TO ACHIEVE? An agreed approach to the implementation of further Article 4 Directions in Conservation Areas. SUGGESTED OPTIONS The Council has 86 Conservation Areas, of which 25 are located wholly or partly outside the South Downs National Park. English Heritage, as part of its ‘conservation areas at risk’ campaign encourages councils to use the powers they already have to apply Article 4 Directions in Conservation Areas, giving them control over small changes to doors, windows, roofs and fences, which, unchecked, lead to slow but irreversible decline. The English Heritage survey has shown that Conservation Areas with Appraisals or Article 4 Directions are almost twice as likely to improve in the next three years as those without. There are two types of Article 4 Directions: “Immediate” which relate specifically to conservation areas and specific classes of permitted development in relation to areas fronting public spaces and streets and “Non-Immediate” for other types of permitted development for example relating to the use of agricultural land, such as for camping and certain types of motor sport. New classes of permitted development rights have recently been introduced relating to renewable energy installations. These changes have potential to impact on the character of conservation areas in that solar panels can now be installed on roofs in conservation areas without planning permission, even if fronting a street or public places. An example of the impact of this form of permitted development can be seen at West Itchenor where an installation on a roof adjacent to the Churchyard to the grade I Listed Parish Church has had a significant impact on its setting. However this form of development is not included in the classes of development that can be controlled by “Immediate” conservation area Directions. A photograph is attached as an Appendix to this Paper. Within Chichester District a number of Article 4 Directions are already in place mostly covering activities on agricultural land, such as camping within the Chichester Harbour AONB and adjacent areas within the Manhood Peninsula and motor racing to the north-west of Chichester. There is also a conservation area based Article 4 Direction controlling satellite dishes and antenna within the Chichester City Conservation Area. More recently a number of conservation type Article 4 Directions have been introduced covering Boxgrove, Halnaker, South Harting, West Itchenor and Wisborough Green. We have received a request from the Itchenor Society and West Itchenor Parish Council that the Council consider implementation of a Non-Immediate Article 4 Direction covering solar panels on roofs fronting public spaces within the West Itchenor Conservation Area. There is support for implementation of these types of Article 4 Directions in the Chichester Harbour AONB from the Harbour Conservancy. There have been other requests for the Council to consider Article 4 directions in other conservation areas, such as Prinsted. ISSUES AND OPTIONS SUMMARY This is a discussion paper to canvass views of Members and others. Comments, including proposals for other options and courses of action, are welcome. The Council is embarking on a program to review existing conservation area appraisals, details of which are outlined in another paper on the Bulletin Board. These appraisals provide a logical framework for assessing need for additional planning controls so it is recommended that implementation of any further Article 4 Directions should be undertaken in conjunction with the programme of review of conservation area character appraisals. Should a proposal come forward for the implementation of Article 4 Directions in the first tranche of conservation area appraisal reviews, it is proposed that a Non-Immediate direction covering the West Itchenor Conservation Area be implemented at the same time. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS (if any) Photograph of solar panel installation adjacent to St Nicholas Church, West Itchenor. PRINCIPAL GROUPS OR ORGANISATIONS TO BE CONSULTED BEFORE THE DECISION IS MADE Parish and community representatives, residents, Parish Councils, amenity groups and other Council Departments. *MEANS OF CONSULTATION When: In accordance How: An initial walkabout with Parish representatives and with the suggested District Councillors, followed by exhibitions of the programme for proposals and recommendations, including circulation of conservation area draft appraisal documents for comments and publicity on appraisal reviews the Council’s website. The process for implementation of Article 4 Directions also includes a statutory consultation process. *CONTACTS Cabinet Member: Janet Duncton – Housing and Planning Portfolio Holder Author/person to whom comments should be made: Lone Le Vay – Design and Implementation Manager *CLOSING DATE FOR COMMENTS: 2 November 2012 .

  • The Horse Butchery Site: a High-Resolution Record of Lower Palaeolithic Hominin Behaviour at Boxgrove, Uk by (Eds) M I Pope, S a Parfitt and M B Roberts
    The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews THE HORSE BUTCHERY SITE: A HIGH-RESOLUTION RECORD OF LOWER PALAEOLITHIC HOMININ BEHAVIOUR AT BOXGROVE, UK BY (EDS) M I POPE, S A PARFITT AND M B ROBERTS SpoilHeap Publications, University College London, 2020. 157pp, 162 figures (of which 92 photographic plates), and 18 tables, pb, ISBN 978-1-912331-15-4, £25.00 The Boxgrove project burst into vibrant life in the early 1980s, challenging and antagonising the academic archaeological establishment in equal measure, its student leader inspired by, and part of, the contemporary punk milieu and its assault on the wider establishment. I don’t recall corduroys, but there were definitely bovver boots and braces as the shaven-headed Mark Roberts held forth in packed lecture halls, providing overwhelming proof that the history of Britain’s earliest human occupation needed substantial revision, and revealing the remarkable details of the substantial landscape of early Palaeolithic occupation preserved at the Boxgrove quarry complex; it was London (Institute of Archaeology) calling. However it wasn’t just the style, it was also the substance. Boxgrove overturned everything. Here was irrefutable evidence of human presence in Britain before the Anglian glaciation, 500,000 years ago in the interglacial period MIS 13; and not just a few suitably-crude lithic implements, but a prolific industry of large, symmetric and aesthetic ovate handaxes with sophisticated features such as tranchet sharpening. And, beyond the technical details of dating and typology, the behavioural evidence from the Boxgrove landscape challenged widely-held views that these early hominins were simpletons living in a mental world with a 15-minute time-depth, responding expediently to the appearance of a carcass or an injured animal, desperately casting around for a rock to chip, or hurl.

  • 1998.1358 Full Transcript to the ELECTORS OF
    1998.1358 Full transcript TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HORSHAM OR NORTH-WESTERN DIVISION OF SUSSEX _________________________ GENTLEMEN, I thank you very sincerely and very humbly for returning me to-day for the third time as your Member, and that without a contest. Very humbly I say, for heavy responsibility will rest upon every member of this new Parliament, which will have to deal with questions of the gravest moment, and of the deepest concern tio the future welfare, if not to the very existence of our Empire. The settlement in the immediate future of those countries now or lately in arms against us, to bring to them not only peace but goodwill among men, and to enable our foes to appreciate the true freedom which exists under the British flag is no light undertaking; and the wise application to our Army system of the lessons taught us in that war is another task which may try our system of Parliamentary Government in no common degree. I am glad to know from some of the names which appear on the nomination papers which I handed in to-day that the great constituency which has given me a share in this most honourable but most responsible duty looks far beyond the petty pitfalls of mere party politics; and while not forgetting those domestic questions and local interests which rightly have a claim upon me, I shall make the welfare of our country my chief concern, and seeking to build upon the best and surest foundation, I shall endeavour as your representative to discharge in some measure that debt of gratitude which we owe to our soldiers, our people and our colonies, who in the time of need have rallied to their country’s flag in a manner which has been the admiration of the civilised world, and will be the priceless inheritance of those who come after us.
