EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This application seeks planning permission for the demolition of the existing detached bungalow and erection of 3no. four bedroom detached houses with associated garages at Twoways, Station Road, Crawley Down which is designated within the Mid Sussex District Plan as being within the built up area boundaries. The application has been called in by Cllr Coote, Cllr Gibson and Cllr Webb on the grounds of overdevelopment and not in-keeping within the street scene. Planning legislation requires the application to be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. It is therefore necessary for the planning application to be assessed against the policies in the development plan and then to take account of other material planning considerations including the NPPF. National planning policy states that planning should be genuinely plan led. The Council has a recently adopted District Plan and is able to demonstrate that it has a five year housing land supply.

  • Boating on Sussex Rivers
    K1&A - Soo U n <zj r \ I A t 1" BOATING ON SUSSEX RIVERS NRA National Rivers Authority Southern Region Guardians of the Water Environment BOATING ON SUSSEX RIVERS Intro duction NRA The Sussex Rivers have a unique appeal, with their wide valleys giving spectacular views of Chalk Downs within sight and smell of the sea. There is no better way to enjoy their natural beauty and charm than by boat. A short voyage inland can reveal some of the most attractive and unspoilt scenery in the Country. The long tidal sections, created over the centuries by flashy Wealden Rivers carving through the soft coastal chalk, give public rights of navigation well into the heartland of Sussex. From Rye in the Eastern part of the County, small boats can navigate up the River Rother to Bodiam with its magnificent castle just 16 miles from the sea. On the River Arun, in an even shorter distance from Littlehampton Harbour, lies the historic city of Arundel in the heart of the Duke of Norfolk’s estate. But for those with more energetic tastes, Sussex rivers also have plenty to offer. Increased activity by canoeists, especially by Scouting and other youth organisations has led to the setting up of regular canoe races on the County’s rivers in recent years. CARING FOR OUR WATERWAYS The National Rivers Authority welcomes all river users and seeks their support in preserving the tranquillity and charm of the Sussex rivers. This booklet aims to help everyone to enjoy their leisure activities in safety and to foster good relations and a spirit of understanding between river users.

  • Small-Town Urbanism in Sub-Saharan Africa
    sustainability Article Between Village and Town: Small-Town Urbanism in Sub-Saharan Africa Jytte Agergaard * , Susanne Kirkegaard and Torben Birch-Thomsen Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, University of Copenhagen, Oster Voldgade 13, DK-1350 Copenhagen K, Denmark; [email protected] (S.K.); [email protected] (T.B.-T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In the next twenty years, urban populations in Africa are expected to double, while urban land cover could triple. An often-overlooked dimension of this urban transformation is the growth of small towns and medium-sized cities. In this paper, we explore the ways in which small towns are straddling rural and urban life, and consider how insights into this in-betweenness can contribute to our understanding of Africa’s urban transformation. In particular, we examine the ways in which urbanism is produced and expressed in places where urban living is emerging but the administrative label for such locations is still ‘village’. For this purpose, we draw on case-study material from two small towns in Tanzania, comprising both qualitative and quantitative data, including analyses of photographs and maps collected in 2010–2018. First, we explore the dwindling role of agriculture and the importance of farming, businesses and services for the diversification of livelihoods. However, income diversification varies substantially among population groups, depending on economic and migrant status, gender, and age. Second, we show the ways in which institutions, buildings, and transport infrastructure display the material dimensions of urbanism, and how urbanism is planned and aspired to. Third, we describe how well-established middle-aged households, independent women (some of whom are mothers), and young people, mostly living in single-person households, explain their visions and values of the ways in which urbanism is expressed in small towns.

    HORSHAM DISTRICT COUNCIL NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN AREA DESIGNATION PARISH OF STEYNING PARISH COUNCIL DESIGNATION OF AREA 1 BACKGROUND An application for the designation of the Parish of Steyning as a neighbourhood area for the purpose of producing a neighbourhood development plan was received from Steyning Parish Council on 14 May 2018, as shown in Appendix A. In accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended), Horsham District Council has considered whether the application meets the requirements of Regulation 5A of the Regulations. The Council, on 25 July 2013, delegated authority to the Head of Strategic Planning, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning and Development, to publicise applications for neighbourhood areas and determine applications. 2 APPLICATION Steyning Parish was part of the neighbourhood planning cluster formerly known as SWAB (Steyning, Wiston, Ashurst & Bramber). This group formally de-clustered on 12 October 2017 under Regulation 12 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended). As set out above, an application for the designation of the entirety of Steyning Parish as a ‘neighbourhood plan area’ for the purpose of producing a neighbourhood development plan was received from Steyning Parish Council on 14 May 2018. No other parishes or areas are included in the application. The application was accompanied by a statement explaining why Steyning Parish is considered appropriate to be designated as a neighbourhood area, and a map on an Ordnance Survey base identifying the intended neighbourhood plan area was also provided.
