DESIGN and ACCESS STATEMENT Cannonberries Poynings Road DESIGN AND ACCESS STATEMENT Cannonberries Poynings Road Fulking Henfield West Sussex BN5 9NB The property Cannonberries is a large detached dwelling set on a large plot to the south of Poynings Road. The property is to the outside of the settlement boundary of the village of Fulking and within the South Downs National Park. The application site is open on the southern and eastern sides. To the north and west are hedge boundaries with the road and The Dales. The site is generally level albeit there is a gentle downward slope from east to west. The site is visible from a number of vantage points along the South Downs Way, given that it lies close to the foot of the scarp slope. The property itself has a rear concealed ‘courtyard’ where a swimming pool is sited, the courtyard and pool are well screened with hedging and planting, There are no views to this private courtyard area from the south downs way or neighbouring properties. PROPOSAL The proposed application is to enclose the existing swimming pool, the existing pool is 7.1 in width (at its widest point) and 13.3m in length. The pool is surrounded by a paved patio area with a high hedge to the west, hedging and planting to the south, the property and an outbuilding screen the north and east. Due to health reasons the applicant has been encouraged to use the pool more often however the pool is difficult to heat, clean and maintain. We have attached a google earth site picture to the application. The proposal is to enclose the pool so that the applicant could use it more and enjoy the health benefits. By enclosing the pool, heating would become easier and more cost/energy efficient. The pool will also be easier to clean and maintain. The existing pool is for private use by the homeowner and this would not alter once enclosed. The pool is positioned to the rear of the property some distance from the road and is set within a concealed courtyard. DESIGN The proposed retractable pool enclosure will be 16.8m length, 8m width and will have a maximum height of 2.6m. No base or ground works are required as the enclosure will sit on the existing paved area, this is an outbuilding and temporary structure with no foundations. The frames are light weight, slim aluminium .The aluminium frame is Marine Grade powder coated. The sides are to be fully glazed with clear glass, the roof material will be polycarbonate. This is a retractable swimming pool enclosure that opens with sections retracting into the east and west section. We have attached some example photographes of similar pool enclosures to the application. As the proposed is a light weigth structure and prodominatly glazed it does not have any detrimental effect on the appeance of the host property, grounds, or surrounding area. This type of enclosure has been previously approved for use within the surrounding area as well as other areas of outstanding natural beauty and within grounds of listed buildings where appropriate. The existing pool is surrounded a high hedge and shrubs meaning this enclosure will not be visible from neighbouring properties, nor will it be noticeable from the South Downs Way. The maximum height will be no more than 2.6m measured from ground level so not taller than any part of the property or surrounding hedging. We feel the proposed enclosure is considered a subservient addition to the property and grounds. We also do not feel by enclosing the swimming pool that this will have an adverse effect on the surrounding area. ACCESS The floor of the enclosure is set at the same level as the existing paving. When the enclosure is retracted there will be no thresholds or step overs .

  • Local Defibrillators Fulking
    Local Defibrillators If you are planning a cardiac event then it makes sense (i) to have it in a location that has a defibrillator available, (ii) to have with you a companion who knows exactly where the defibrillator is, and (iii) for that companion to have some idea how to use it. The text, maps, and photos on this webpage are intended to facilitate the first two goals. With regard to the third goal, modern public access defibrillators are designed to be usable without prior instruction (they talk you through the process) but your companion will feel much more confident about saving your life if they have attended one of the many defibrillator and resuscitation courses on offer locally. Contact HART to discover times and locations. Finally, you can encourage your companion to do some relevant reading. Fulking The Fulking defibrillator is in the centre of the village. The red door to the right is the entrance to the green corrugated iron shack that has served as the village hall for the last ninety years. The porch to the left is the entrance to a tiny brick chapel now used as the church bookstore. The defibrillator is in this porch and is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Edburton The Edburton defibrillator is located at Coles Automotive which is at the end of Browns Meadow, a track that begins roughly opposite to Springs Smoked Salmon. It is kept in their reception area and is thus only accessible during garage opening hours. Poynings: The Forge Garage Poynings has two defibrillators.

  • Devil's Dyke Near Brighton Is One of the Great Attractions of the South Downs and Families Come in Their Thousands to Take a Snack and a Drink and a Stroll
    point your feet on a new path The Devil’s Dyke Distance: 18 km=11 miles or 12½ km=7½ miles or 9 km=5½ miles moderate walking Region: West Sussex Date written: 3-jul-2014 Author: Hautboy Last update: 4-jun-2021 Refreshments: Devil’s Dyke, Fulking, Poynings Map: Explorer 122 (Steyning) but the maps in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. High hills, views, woodland, villages, pubs In Brief The Devil's Dyke near Brighton is one of the great attractions of the South Downs and families come in their thousands to take a snack and a drink and a stroll. Very few go much further along the Downs as on this walk. The Devil's Dyke pub is not bad, but the very best inns are to be found in the picturesque villages at the foot of the Downs visited on this walk. (To enquire at the Shepherd and Dog in Fulking, ring 01273 857382. For the Royal Oak in Poynings, ring 01273 857389.) This walk has two shorter options. The short walk (9 km=5½ miles) takes a path soon after the Devil's Dyke directly down to the Shepherd and Dog in Fulking. The middle walk (12½ km=7½ miles) takes a short cut to Edburton. Only the full walk gives you some really stunning views west- wards over the Adur valley which you would miss on the shorter walks.

  • Fulking Is a Small, Compact Village Situated Under the Lee of the South Downs in the Heart of the Sussex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
    Mid Sussex Local Plan May 2004 Introduction 26.1 Fulking is a small, compact village situated under the lee of the South Downs in the heart of the Sussex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a relatively remote village being about 4.5 miles from Hurstpierpoint, Henfield and Upper Beeding. 26.2 The focal point of the village is The Street where most of the dwellings are located. Leading off from The Street are the village’s two other roads, Clappers Lane and Stammers Hill. These are largely 20th century extensions to the settlement. The Street is much older in origin with many of the buildings listed, a significant number dating from the 17th century. Fulking has facilities which include a recreation ground, equipped children’s play area, church, church hall, pub and a pre-school playgroup. Policies and Proposals Built-up Area Boundary 26.3 A built-up area boundary is defined for Fulking in order to conserve the rural setting of the village and to protect the surrounding countryside from unnecessary development. Conservation Area 26.4 In April 1984 the Council designated the area enclosing The Street as a Conservation Area in recognition of its special character and appearance. 26.5 The buildings vary in age and style. In The Street many predate the 20th century with a significant number of 17th century origin. Several of the buildings are listed. These include a number of timber framed dwellings and also a number with thatched roofs and brightly painted walls. 26.6 The following features, in particular, contribute to the character
