APOLOGIES: Apologies for absence were received from Councillor R Galley. 17/1 MINUTES The minutes of the meeting held on 8th June 2016 were confirmed and signed as a correct record. 17/2 PETITIONS Councillor Ann Newton read out the titles of each of the following petitions and thanked the petitioners for submitting them, and noted the number of signatures: A) Save East Hoathly from Over Development – 253 signatures B) Petition in opposition to the designation of sites in Little London Road (Old Common to Lions Lodge) and New Pond Hill, Cross in Hand, Heathfield as being suitable for housing development – 58 signatures. C) Petition in opposition to indicated ‘potential’ housing sites fronting Ghyll Road & Pook Reed Lane, Heathfield – 37 signatures D) Enhancing the Cuckoo Trail – 18 signatures She confirmed these petitions had been taken into account in the preparation of the Wealden Local Plan – Draft Proposed Submission Document. 17/3 WEALDEN LOCAL PLAN - DRAFT PROPOSED SUBMISSION DOCUMENT The Head of Planning Policy and Economic Development, Marina Brigginshaw, presented the Wealden Local Plan Draft Proposed Submission document which had been prepared to go out for consultation. This had been prepared following testing of the preferred option arising from the consideration of Issues and Options and Recommendations document. In order to enable appropriate presentation of the document and questions from Members, the Local Plan Draft Submission Document was presented to the Sub-Committee in groups of chapters with opportunities for Members to ask questions at each stage. Miss Brigginshaw advised that the Proposed Submission Document (set out at Appendix A to the agenda report) had been prepared based on the delivery of 14,101 homes across a plan period of 2013-2028. The report also contained an alternative option of 11,456 dwellings. The reduction in the number of homes and the length of the plan period had been a result of evidence gathered during the testing of the preferred option, which showed that development across the District and associated traffic movements had a more substantial impact on the air quality and ecology of the Ashdown Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC) than previously understood. Monitoring had shown that the levels of nitrogen deposition across the forest varied significantly, but that the levels of nitrogen disposition alongside forest roads was above acceptable levels, and that the critical load on the SAC overall had been exceeded. Since the agenda had been published, further information had been received, which had led to a reduction in the number of homes being proposed to 11,456. A briefing note was tabled setting out the key scenarios which had been tested, and Miss Brigginshaw guided Members through the implications of the evidence. She explained that the document set out the impact on the forest of the scenario of the original preferred option of around 21,000 homes up to 2037, the option for 14,101 homes up to 2028, the option for 11,456 up to 2028, and the impact of the current permissions. By reducing the numbers of homes in the Plan to 11,456 up to 2028 and locating development primarily in the south of Wealden, it would be possible to reduce the impact on the SAC to within Natural England recommended levels (which applied regardless of whether the critical load had already been exceeded), and to reduce the percentage of area in the forest affected. It was noted that the legislation required that the Council looked at the implications on the SAC of the plan alone, and in combination with other plans and proposals, including those of neighbouring authorities. It was emphasised that there was a need to balance the need for development with what was acceptable in terms of ecological impact, and a range of compensatory measures would be developed to apply where damage did take place, in particular alongside forest roads. It was recognised that having a Plan based upon 11,456 dwellings delivered between 2013 and 2028 would result in changes to the allocations sites and the SHEELA (Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment) sites. Miss Brigginshaw confirmed that in general employment land policies would remain the same, with the exception that the allocations in Polegate and Willingdon would be removed. Retail provision and gypsy and traveller site provision remained unchanged. The Committee heard that the development boundaries had been reviewed in the light of the evidence base and would be identified even in many areas with no allocations. Policy WLP5 would need to be amended to reflect the reduction to 11,456 homes overall, and a summary of the new distribution in settlement areas was tabled and read out by the Chairman. This showed the distribution of 4,064 homes to be delivered up to 2028, with the remaining 7,392 homes related to consents or built property since the start of the plan period in 2013. In was confirmed that development outside development boundaries would not be supported unless it met other polices in the Plan. There was no windfall allocation in the plan, but there were contingency sites identified in specific areas, should applications not come forward in primary sites. Members were pleased to see that the plan continued to emphasise the primacy of town centres and high streets for retail development. The following comments and questions were raised by Members, following the introduction of each group of chapters by Miss Brigginshaw: (1) Implications for current and approved planning applications – It was confirmed that these were already included. However, applications at pre-application stage were not taken into account and would need to be assessed under the new requirements. (2) Implications for meeting Housing Need and the 5 year land supply – The Objectively Assessed Housing Need had increased to 950 dwellings per annum up to 2028 as a result of new demographic profiling. It was confirmed that once the Plan was adopted the housing need would be assessed as the numbers in the Plan. Until adopted, the protection of the Ashdown Forest and the evidence base supporting this was a legitimate reason not to meet the 5 year land supply requirement. (3) Impact of Neighbouring Authority Plans – It was confirmed that the nitrogen deposition had been shown in the modelling to be affected by a wider development area than previously understood. The Council was required to look at the deposition arising from its own Plan and in combination with others. The Council would be working with other Local Authorities to look at the impact of their plans. If their numbers increased, this might have an impact on the numbers able to be delivered in the Wealden Local Plan. Miss Brigginshaw confirmed that representations setting out Wealden’s concern at the higher figures have been made to the Mid Sussex Local Plan Inspector. (4) Implications of EU legislation – It was confirmed that the Habitats Regulations were EU legislation, but principles were also enshrined in English Law. The Council had a good record of interpreting legislation and defending its position. (5) Swopping allocations and promoting community projects? Consideration has been given in the Plan to releasing allocations, where sites were not built out.

  • The Charles Bo Cking Collection for The
    The Charles Bo_cking Collection of Wadhurst History DESCRIPTIVE NOTE AND CATALOGUE Compiled by Brian Harwood for the Trustees of the Bocking Collection which is located in the Wadhurst Institute, East Sussex Autumn 1990 DESCRIPTIVE NOTE The late Charlie Bocking collected information, both pictorial and written, on just about every aspect of life i-n Wadhurst and its locality. Everything he found out he sorted into one of three categories: (a) Photographic (b) Literary (c) Notes Category (a), held in sixteen boxes, has become welI known from various public exhibitions of selected items and themes; however, the other two categories have not before now been available to public use. The sequence of Literary items comprises a wi-de variety of written material on all aspects of Wadhurst 1ife, ranging from one-line descriptions to brochures and sma11 booklets. The Notes were Charlie's jottings and research comments covering a wide spectrum of Wadhurst subjects" As he verified and amplified these notes so he transf erred them j-nto the category (b) f iles. Initially, Charlie set up quite a complex cross- referencing system involving photo subjects, places, family names, literary sources and research notes. But, inevitably, as both he grew older and his collection grew greater, it became increasingly difficult for him to keep the reference system in step with the widening complexity of the col-lection. So, where possible, cross-referencing comments have been amended to suit the revised layout, ot deleted where no longer needed. To bring the collection back into coherent order and into a sequence which could be used more easily, the Literary category has been resorted into a simple alphabetical run of the subject headings as allocated by Charlie.

  • A3 Hadlow Hill 10 P1&2 Cover Pmd.Pmd
    HADLOW CONSERVATION AREAS Introduction The objective of the Hadlow Conservation Areas Appraisal is to analyse and record the special character of the Conservation Areas. The Hadlow High Street Conservation Area was originally designated in 1972. Following an assessment of the conservation area boundary, the Borough Council proposes to update it to include new areas and exclude others. Aseparate Conservation Area at The Freehold is also proposed. The appraisal covers the areas within the revised High Street Conservation Area boundary, together with the proposed additional Conservation Area, and provides further details to assist with the interpretation and use of planning policies. It will help guide the Council in making planning decisions on planning applications and to this end will be adopted for development control purposes. It is intended that this appraisal will inform and influence the activities of the Council and other bodies (e.g. Kent County Council and other statutory agencies), where these impact on the Conservation Areas. It will also assist in the identification of any APPRAISAL programmes of action that are considered appropriate by these bodies, subject, of course, to financial limitations and other priorities they may have. Importantly, it is hoped that the appraisal will prove to be of help to residents, businesses and landowners. For anyone proposing new development or changes within the Conservation Areas, the appraisal should be read in conjunction with the Borough Council’s Conservation Area Advice Note. This includes guidance on the broad issues to be considered and the special controls that apply in Conservation Areas. AREAS As the purpose of this appraisal is to describe the character of the area, it does not include a detailed description of every feature or building.

This aims to align this BAP with the Sussex Biodiversity Action Plan. The document also demonstrates the Board’s commitment to fulfilling its duty as a public body under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 to conserve biodiversity. Many of the Board’s activities have benefits and opportunities for biodiversity, not least its water level management and ditch maintenance work. It is hoped that this Biodiversity Action Plan will help the Board to maximise the biodiversity benefits from its activities and demonstrate its contribution to the Government’s UK Biodiversity Action Plan targets as part of the Biodiversity 2020 strategy. The Board has adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan as one of its policies and subject to available resources is committed to its implementation. It will review the plan periodically and update it as appropriate. Bill Gower Chairman of the Board PEVENSEY AND CUCKMERE WLMB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS & ACRONYMS 1 1
