East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove, Local Aggregate East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove Local Aggregate Assessment December 2017 East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove, Local Aggregate Assessment, December 2017 NOTE In September 2017 East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the South Downs National Park Authority commenced a Review of their Waste and Minerals Local Plan. This year's LAA has been drafted for consideration by SEEAWP before the end of the consultation period for the Call for Evidence and Sites. In addition, adoption of the LAA is planned before formal consideration of the responses to the Call for Evidence and Sites. It would not therefore be appropriate to pre-empt possible changes in aggregate supply in this document and so discussion of future demand and supply scenarios will not be included. These details will be assessed at the next stage of the Waste and Minerals Local Plan Review process in 2018.

The LAA has been updated annually and is based on the Plan Area for the adopted East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove Waste & Minerals Local Plan (WMLP). This document represents the fifth LAA for the mineral planning authorities of East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the South Downs National Park Authority (the Authorites) and examines updates to the position on aggregates supply and demand since the time of last reporting in 2016. In past years the Authorities' assessment was that there were particular circumstances in this Plan Area that made it difficult to prepare the LAA totally along the lines indicated in the NPPG. Previous LAAs concluded that the assessment could not use past 10 years sales data as this was too volatile because there is a very small number of production sites and therefore there has been major variation in sales figures from nothing to more substantial output. Past LAAs instead used the Apportionment figure in the Adopted WMLP as a surrogate figure for forward planning. In 2016 a Public Examination on the soundness and legal compliance of the East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove Waste and Minerals Sites Plan was held. Hearings focused on the whether the Plan provided a sufficient and adequate supply of aggregates. Whilst the Inspector found the Sites Plan sound in his Report he highlighted the need for a Review of the aggregate minerals policies. The Authorities have since agreed to a Review of the Waste and Minerals Local Plan (WMLP) and in September 2017 published a consultation on the Call for Evidence & Sites . It is accepted by the Authorities that the WMLP aggregate policies are in need of review and so this year the LAA will seek to provide updated background information for the Review of the Waste and Minerals Local Plan. The LAA has been drafted for consideration by SEEAWP before the end of the consultation period for the call for evidence and sites. In addition, adoption of the LAA is planned before formal consideration of the responses to the call for evidence and sites. It is not therefore appropriate to pre-empt possible changes in aggregate supply in this document and therefore discussion of future demand and supply scenarios will not be included. These details will be assessed at the next stage of the Local Plan Review process in 2018. This LAA therefore examines the latest information and data available on aggregates in the context of the considerations raised by SEEAWP and the MPA/POS guidance (see Appendix C). The overall picture of aggregate supply to the Plan area is of heavy dependence on imports by road, sea and rail. Significant levels of marine imports (marine dredged and crushed rock) are received through Shoreham Port and to a lesser extent 4 East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove, Local Aggregate Assessment, December 2017 Executive Summary Newhaven and Rye. Crushed rock, recycled aggregate and sand and gravel are imported by rail at Newhaven. Land-won sand and gravel is extracted in the east of the Plan area at Lydd with about 50% of material being consumed in East Sussex. A steady supply of recycled material is produced from construction waste management facilities across the Plan area. A continuing demand for construction materials is anticipated. The South East England Aggregates Working Party (SEEAWP) has requested that MPAs include a comparative Key Facts table in their LAA. The data included in this table is to be found within the LAA and is pulled together here to enable easier assessment and collation of information.

  • Winter 2020/21 Newsletter
    East Sussex Hearing Winter 2020/21 Newsletter SEASONS GREETINGS! Our lovely new Eastbourne Centre! As winter approaches we are hopeful that the New Year will bring good news for everyone… turn over to find out more about our hopes and plans for 2021 Registered Charity No: 1101140 Hello from your CEO David Rowan Well, what an eventful year it has been. It started off like most New Year’s do, very quiet. Then, in mid-February we started to hear of cases of a new virus in China that was initially thought to be localised and similar to the SARS virus of 2003. It quickly became apparent that this was a completely different virus and far more infectious. Within a matter of weeks, the virus had spread beyond China and we ultimately ended up with the Coronavirus pandemic that has gone on to effect most, if not all countries in the world. We then went into our first 12-week lockdown and our Centre had to close its doors to the public for the very first time. All our outreach activities were cancelled including lipreading and sign language classes, support groups and our hearing aid maintenance service. However, a skeleton staff continued to work from the office providing vital support and information to clients by telephone, text and email. We also started our new “hearing aid batteries by post” service which we have continued to provide ever since, and will carry on doing until a more ‘normal’ life returns. However, this year has not been all doom and gloom. It was towards the end of the first lockdown that we realised we wouldn’t be able to resume our classes and equipment demonstrations from St Leonards Road because of the new covid distancing requirements and so we took the 2 plunge and moved into new, bright, comfortable and spacious premises in Chantry House, just a short walk from St Leonards Road.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by East Sussex County Council [ASC 021]
    Written evidence submitted by East Sussex County Council [ASC 021] • How has Covid-19 changed the landscape for long-term funding reform of the adult social care sector? The challenges facing the adult social care market prior to the pandemic are well documented and, in many cases, have been brought into sharp focus over the last 12 months. Local Authority published rates; contract arrangements (e.g. block arrangements); commissioning approaches (e.g. strategic partners) and CCG funding agreements including Better Care Fund allocations are all key funding reform considerations which sit alongside the necessity to offer choice, personalised care and high quality, safe services. Residential and nursing care There are 306 registered care homes in East Sussex – the majority are small independently run homes, which don’t have the wrap-around organisational infrastructure enjoyed by larger / national providers. In East Sussex, Local Authority placements are made across around one-third of the residential and nursing care market. At the peak of the second wave over 100 care homes in East Sussex were closed to admissions due to Covid outbreaks. Week commencing 04/01/21 there were 853 confirmed cases of Covid19 in East Sussex care home settings. During 2021, as of the week ending 19/03/2021, East Sussex has had 2,404 deaths registered in total and 1,110 of these have been attributable to COVID-19, of which 597 have occurred in hospital and 436 have occurred in care homes (LG reform data). In the two years up to April 2019, there were 26 residential and nursing home closures in East Sussex resulting in a loss of 435 beds, across all care groups.
