BATOD is not a dinosaur. To survive, this organisation has adapted and changed in order to remain robust. We, on BATOD's National Executive Committee (NEC), need to evaluate our role and ensure that our format meets the needs of our membership in the 21st century. Changes need to be made and these may be quite radical. We have taken advice from Management Consultants who gave us their time and advice without charge. If we are to remain an effective professional organisation, we need to heed their advice and secure three key roles - Secretary, Treasurer and Magazine Editor.

  • Ovingdean Conservation Area Character Statement
    Ovingdean Conservation Area Character Statement Designated: 1970 Extended: 2012 Area: 21 Hectares 2147 Acres Article 4 Direction controlling incremental change made 2012 Introduction Location and Setting Ovingdean comprises a small agricultural hamlet, set in rural downland, 4.2km to the east of Brighton and approximately 1km north of the coastline. The historic part of the village nestles at the base of a valley, surrounded on three sides by open downland. 20th century residential development extends up the valleyside to the south and east; however the surrounding downland remains the dominant feature. The topography creates a particularly inward-looking village, much removed from the hustle and bustle of neighbouring Brighton and the A259. Its location away from main routes in the area mean that the historic village is still a relatively quiet backwater, although increased levels of traffic travelling through the village has affected this. Ovingdean Conservation Area was designated in 1970 and centres on the historic village. It is bounded by Longhill Road to the northeast, the grounds of Ovingdean Hall to the southeast, the woodland to the rear of St Wulfran's Church to the southwest and Hog Croft Field and the operational farm to the north. Amongst its heritage assets, the area contains 14 listed buildings, two buildings of local interest and an archaeological notification area (see Existing Designations graphic - page 2). Three further archaeological notification areas are located in the immediate surroundings. Ian Fraser House (Blind Veterans UK) - a centre providing support to blind ex-Service men and women - is a grade II listed complex situated at the junction of Greenways and the A259; to the south of the village.
