Introduction 1.1.2 The Government’s objective for the planning system is to promote good design that ensures attractive, usable and durable places. This is a key element in achieving 1 sustainable development. The Government attaches great importance to the design of the built environment in stating that: good design is indivisible from good planning and should contribute positively to making places better for people(1) . 1.1.3 The historic environment is defined as: All aspects of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time, including surviving physical remains of past human activity, whether visible, buried or submerged, and landscaped and planted or managed flora(2). 1.1.4 The Government’s objective is that the historic environment and its heritage assets should be conserved and enjoyed for the quality of life they bring to this and future generations. Wealden has a very high quality environment due to its unspoilt natural landscape character and historic settlements. 1.1.5 Wealden has a rich historic environment which is an important asset to be safeguarded and enhanced, and the built heritage should be reflected in new development through the consideration of local distinctiveness. It is important that a high standard of design should be required in all new developments, whether it is an extension or an alteration to an existing building, changes of use of existing buildings, or new housing or business developments. New development should create a strong sense of place through drawing on the local context and local distinctiveness of an area by being well-designed functional, attractive and sustainable. 1.1.6 Design relates not only to new large housing or commercial developments, or individual new houses or buildings, but to alterations and extensions to existing buildings, which can respect the plan form, period, style, architectural characteristics and the type and standard of architectural detailing and finishes of the original building. 1.1.7 The evidence for the historic development of settlements throughout the landscapes within the District points to distinct types and periods of settlement. Many of the smaller historic village settlements within the District have retained their original plan forms and distinctive character– whether linear, along ridgelines within the High Weald; dispersed along route ways and nucleated around cross roads and former market places. 1 National Planning Policy Framework (2012), Chapter 7 2 National Planning Policy Framework, Annex 2: Glossary 5 Wealden Local Plan Design and Heritage Background Paper 1 1.1.8 The Local Plan will ensure that the principles of the National Planning Policy Introduction Framework (NPPF) and National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG) are implemented and that the local character and distinctiveness of different areas of the District are protected and reinforced. This will also contribute to place making as development proposals will need to respect the identity of a settlement and its surroundings. 1.1.9 Local Plan policies will also establish principles relating to ‘Heritage Assets’, both designated and non-designated, building on core objectives. These principles, where appropriate, will be supported by Supplementary Planning Documents, to help to understand the significance of assets and to assist in development proposals.

See Principles on main webpage. Parkland, green meadows, woodland, views In Brief This short walk through the best of the rolling country near Ashdown Forest includes some of stretches already familiar with regular users of this site. But it finds other paths which are less known. ? In autumn there were no nettles or undergrowth worth a mention on this walk, but in high summer the undergrowth will be much denser, requiring ? sensible clothing. Boots are necessary in the wetter months, but about 70% of the walk is on surfaced drives, making walking shoes or trainers a viable alternative if the weather is fairly clement and the season dry. With hardly any main roads, your dog will be very welcome on this walk. The walk begins at Withyham , East Sussex, postcode TN7 4BD .. For more details, see at the end of this text ( Getting There ). In the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, the Five Hundred Acre Wood was close to Cotchford Farm, near Hartfield, which A.A. Milne and his family rented for the summer. But in the book it becomes just the “Hundred-Acre Wood” or simply “The Wood” and Christopher Robin and Pooh go there regularly because in the middle of the wood is Owl's house.

The walk can be divided into two shorter walks: Villages and Poohsticks (10½ or 9½ km=6½ or 5½ miles) is the twisty northern walk. Clumps and Sandpits (10 km=6 miles) is the breezy southern walk which takes in the wilder spaces and the other Pooh sites. There are a few nettles in the northern walk near Hartfield and some brambles a little later, making shorts inadvisable.

Each one’s concept of peace was similar to the others. Grahame voiced it as “my own little home” through his character Mole in The Wind in the Willows.1 Potter expressed it through the words “at home in his peaceful nest in a sunny bank” in her book The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse.2 Finally, Milne described it in The House at Pooh Corner as “that enchanted

  • Greek Revival Roots Latrobe's Hammerwood Park
    Greek Revival Roots Latrobe’s Hammerwood Park Greek Revival influences abound in New Orleans’ beautiful Garden District; and historic Gallier Hall on St. Charles Avenue, our city hall for more than a century, like most temple style Greek Revival buildings in Louisiana, features a pedimented portico attached to a broader façade. This architectural style, in its most elemental form, was popular from about 1820 to 1860 and dominated public buildings in the United States during that period. Beginning in Great Britain, how did this style make its way to New Orleans? To find the answer, we must first make a trip back in time to England, to East Sussex where a young architect named Benjamin Henry Latrobe, in 1792, designed one of the first houses in England built in the Greek Revival style. Benjamin Henry Latrobe (May 1, 1764 – September 3, 1820) Many New Orleanians have attended weddings or parties at the event venue on Royal Street known as Latrobe’s. Originally the Louisiana State Bank, or La Banque de L’Etat de la Louisiane, the building was designed by Latrobe in 1820, and constructed by Benjamin Fox in 1822. So how did Latrobe make his way from England to America and have the distinction of being one of the first formally trained architects in the new United States (who served as architect on the design of our nation’s Capitol in Washington, D.C., and was also responsible for the design of the White House porticos) – and how did he come to work in New Orleans? Latrobe’s on Royal My uncle, a major in the British Army, York and Lancaster Regiment, was born in Colemans Hatch, a small hamlet in the civil parish of Hartfield in the Wealden district of East Sussex, on the edge of Ashdown Forest.

  • Alan Alexander Milne - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Alan Alexander Milne - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Alan Alexander Milne(18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) A. A. Milne was born in Kilburn, London, England to parents John Vine Milne and Sarah Maria (née Heginbotham) and grew up at Henley House School, 6/7 Mortimer Road (now Crescent), Kilburn, London, a small independent school run by his father. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells who taught there in 1889–90. Milne attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied on a mathematics scholarship. While there, he edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor. Milne joined the British Army in World War I and served as an officer in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and later, after a debilitating illness, the Royal Corps of Signals. After the war, he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934), which he retracted somewhat with 1940's War with Honour. During World War II, Milne was one of the most prominent critics of English humour writer P. G. Wodehouse, who was captured at his country home in France by the Nazis and imprisoned for a year. Wodehouse made radio broadcasts about his internment, which were broadcast from Berlin. Although the lighthearted broadcasts made fun of the Germans, Milne accused Wodehouse of committing an act of near treason by cooperating with his country's enemy.
