Introduction 1.1. This Planning Statement has been produced on behalf of Norfolk Square Ltd in support of their full planning application for the redevelopment of Stable Field, Wisborough Green. The development description for the proposal reads: Residential development of seven dwellings with associated vehicular and pedestrian access, car parking, and landscaping at Stable Field, Kirdford Road, Wisborough Green 1.2. This Statement will cover relevant planning policy and guidance, considering effects of the proposed redevelopment (including an assessment of impacts upon the historic environment) and relationship with existing development. 1.3. This application for Full Planning Permission is supported by the following documents and drawings: • Application Form and Notices • CIL Forms • Planning Statement (incorporating Interim Policy Statement Justification Appendix A) • Suite of Application Drawings including Location Plan • Topographical Survey • Design & Access Statement • Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment • Flood Risk Assessment & Foul and Surface Drainage Strategy • Preliminary Ecological Appraisal • Transport Statement • Arboricultural Impact Assessment and Method Statement, Existing Tree Schedule • Lighting Details (within the Design and Access Statement) • Heritage Statement • Sustainability Statement (within the Design and Access Statement) Planning Statement – Stable Fields, Wisborough Green 5 2. The Site 2.1. The site at Stable Field, Wisborough Green is a former agricultural field located to the north-west of the village of Wisborough Green. 2.2. The site is located outside of the settlement boundary (although near to it being separated by the adjacent area edged blue in Figure 1 and the Park Lodge / Park House complex). Like other properties on Kirdford Road, the site is not connected to the village by a pedestrian footway. However, the main part of the site is located close to the centre of Wisborough Green being located circa 500m distance from the junction of Durbans Road and Newpound Lane. 2.3. Wisborough Green itself is a sustainable rural settlement (designated a service village) with a primary school, recreation ground / children’s play area, sports facilities, pubs, café, hairdressers and shop with post office. Such facilities offer a good range of local facilities for future residents. Bus stops are located within close proximity of the site enabling the opportunity for sustainable travel. 2.4. The site is bounded by Kirdford Road to the south west. The remaining part of the field is located to the south east (within the blue edge) with Green Lane (an unadopted path) beyond this. Paddocks / open fields are located directly to the north east of the site with the farmstead buildings of Brooklands Farm further north east. To the north west is a static caravan site which has an implemented permission for 10 no. static caravans. Figure 1: Site Location Planning Statement – Stable Fields, Wisborough Green 6 2.5. The red edge is broadly rectangular however an elongated extension protrudes to the south east corner of the adjacent part of the field where an existing gate is located (itself set back from Kirdford Road within a layby which is also Highway Land). 2.6. As set out further within the following chapters, this protrusion will provide for a footpath for pedestrian access. An area of blue edge is further located to the south of Park Lodge which is within the ownership of the applicant. The remaining part of the field lies within the blue edge boundary under the ownership of the applicant. 2.7. The site is bounded to the north west, north east and south west by scrub, trees and vegetation. On the north eastern boundary, the trees are less mature. On the north western

  • Northchapel Plan A4
    Parish Plan for NORTHCHAPEL Published December 2009 The Old Forge Centre village across green Working Men’s Club, Pipers Lane Centre village looking south 2 Introduction from the Chairman of Northchapel Parish Council I am delighted to introduce the Northchapel Parish Plan. This document has been worked on over a number of years, and is the result of consultation within the community of Northchapel, with Chichester District Council and West Sussex County Council. We have also benefited great- ly from the input of Action in rural Sussex and the Sussex Association of Local Councils. The Parish Plan is an overview of the way we, as a community, wish Northchapel to develop in the years ahead, the problems and challenges we face, and how we propose to deal with them in partnership with the appropriate outside authorities. We are happily supplied with an excellent local school, with a newly refurbished Village Hall, and a Village Shop and Post Office, however there is much to be addressed if we are to achieve our aim of making Northchapel a place that not only we, but also our children, will be happy to call home. • We must ensure there is an adequate supply of appropriate and affordable housing to meet the needs of future generations (High Priority and Ongoing). • We need to work to establish transport services which link the village to local townships on a regular basis (Medium Priority). • We must work to provide leisure facilities for the younger members of our community (Ongoing). • We must continue to campaign for proper control of the speed of traffic through our village (High Priority and Ongoing).

  • Sussex Bat Special Area of Conservation Planning and Landscape Scale Enhancement Protocol
    Sussex Bat Special Area of Conservation Planning and Landscape Scale Enhancement Protocol Aim of the protocol The aim of this joint document is to: Facilitate sustainable development; and Secure a diverse and healthy landscape for bats, people and other wildlife It builds upon Policy SD10 within the South Downs National Park Local Plan and will support the biodiversity, green infrastructure and dark skies aspirations within the local plan. By following the guidance in this protocol, the South Downs National Park Authority can ensure that the bat populations associated with The Mens, Ebernoe Common and Singleton and Cocking Tunnels Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) thrive and development around the SACs avoids impacts on them, thereby preventing delays during their consideration at the planning stage. The protocol provides guidance on: measures to avoid impacts to bats associated with the SACs, when surveys may be needed landscape- scale conservation opportunities that are required to maintain the integrity of the SACs and the populations of Bechstein’s and barbastelle bats. Through securing developer contributions from major schemes and working closely with existing and future land management incentives the joint vision is to deliver an integrated conservation strategy for bats and will also deliver much wider benefits for people and wildlife. Introduction Sussex has a diverse landscape with significant areas of linked woodland, riparian habitat and grassland areas which support internationally important populations of bats at a number of sites; particularly within three Special Areas of Conservation (SACs). The Sussex Bat SACs The Sussex Bat SACs include a suite of three SACs in which the qualifying features are the population of the bats using the SAC as a roost.

  • Ebernoe Common
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Ebernoe Common Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.

  • Of Place-Names in Sussex
    PREPARATORY TO A DICTIONARY OF SUSSEX PLACE-NAMES Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol © 2017 First tranche: place-names in A, E, I, O and U 1 Foreword It is now almost 90 years since the publication of Allen Mawer and Frank Stenton’s standard county survey The place-names of Sussex (English Place-Name Society [EPNS] vols 6-7, Cambridge University Press, 1929-30). While I was living and working in Sussex, before 2006, it had long been my intention to produce an updated but scaled- down of this major work to serve as one of the EPNS’s “Popular” series of county dictionaries. Many things have intervened to delay the fulfilment of this aspiration, but it struck me that I could advance the project a little, put a few new ideas into the public domain, and possibly apply a spur to myself, by publishing from time to time an online “fascicle” consisting of analyses of selected major or important names beginning with a particular letter. Here are the first five, dealing with the letters A, E, I, O and U. Readers are invited to send any comments, including suggestions for inclusion or improvement, to me at [email protected]. With that end in mind, the present work consists of an index in electronic form of the names covered by Mawer and Stenton, kindly supplied many years ago, before I was acquainted with the joys of scanning, by Dr Paul Cavill. For some of these names, those which Percy Reaney called “names of primary historical or etymological interest” (interpreted subjectively), I have constructed a dictionary entry consisting of evidence and commentary in the usual way, plus a National Grid reference and a reference to the relevant page-number in Mawer and Stenton (e.g.
