The site currently comprises arable fields bounded by hedgerows, Land off Highgrove tree lines and small areas of woodland. The development is proposed as a sustainable extension to the Crescent, Polegate existing neighbourhood at The Mill, which was previously built by Taylor Wimpey, and will include new areas of open space and children’s play facilities. The proposed development site is bordered by the A27 Polegate Bypass to the north, Highgrove Crescent to the south and Shepham Lane to the west. Key features 170 Up to 170 35% of Approximately Close proximity new homes homes will be 4.66 hectares of to local services affordable open space and and public play areas transport DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL WWW.TAYLORWIMPEY.CO.UK/HIGHGROVECRESCENT Up to 170 new homes, including 35% of affordable properties. Homes to be no more than three storeys high. Provision of high-quality interconnected open space, including children’s play areas and trim trail. Retention of existing trees and hedgerows.

Crescent, Polegate Sustainable drainage system to control water runoff rates. Vehicle access taken via the western end of Highgrove Crescent. Acoustic barrier plus landscaping to mitigate noise from the A27. Development will link up with pedestrian and cycle route networks and provide connections to nearby bus stops to promote sustainable modes of travel. Key features Open spaces, new Sustainable Landscaping and Cycle and wildlife habitat drainage measures barrier to run pedestrian routes and enhanced tree to control water parallel to the A27, to encourage planting runoff and boost to reduce sound active travel biodiversity pollution CONNECTIVITY WWW.TAYLORWIMPEY.CO.UK/HIGHGROVECRESCENT Future residents should have convenient access to local facilities and services by a range of transport Access to local modes. Our scheme will therefore seek to integrate with the surrounding community by reinforcing facilities and services existing connections or creating new ones. Facilities within easy reach There a range of facilities and services locally, resulting in multiple opportunities for future residents to leave the car at home. For example, Lidl, Chaucer Business Park, Polegate Primary School and Manor Park Medical Centre are all approximately a 15-minute walk from the site. Polegate town centre is approximately a 25-minute walk away and provides a wide range of facilities and services for everyday shopping and personal business needs. Safe pedestrian and cycle routes The Mill residential area provides excellent pedestrian and cycling facilities. The shared use footway/cycleway on the southern side of the B2247 Pevensey Road provides a safe route to the town centre. There is a good network of Public Rights of Way located in the site’s vicinity. National Cycle Network (NCN) routes 2 and 21 (which also forms part of the Cuckoo Trail) provide dedicated off-road traffic-free routes from the site towards Eastbourne and Hailsham. Public transport and rail links Bus routes 51 and 54/54A, operated by Stagecoach, run a short distance from the site, along Dittons Road/ Pevensey Road. Route 54 provides an hourly service between Eastbourne and Uckfield, while the 51 provides morning and evening services between Eastbourne, Hailsham and Heathfield. Polegate railway station provides two services per hour to Eastbourne, Hastings, Brighton, and London and is located within walking and cycling distance of the site.

This report includes the necessary risk assessment to support the chosen option. 1.2 Reason for the risk assessment This risk assessment has been produced in conjunction with the East Sussex Resignalling project which will see the abolition of Polegate Signalbox and the renewal of Polegate MCB Crossing. This document demonstrates the decision making undertaken in determining the practicability of this proposal and the evaluation of the necessary safety measures required at the level crossing; culminating in a single preferred option. This document is derived from and fulfils the guidance criteria stipulated. The signalling renewal works associated with this project, East Sussex re-signalling, is driven by asset condition, safety and obsolescence. The project is also part of the National Operating Strategy (NOS) scheme which will achieve the signalling renewal and the Control Period 4 (CP4) operating strategy objectives through the re- signalling of the East Sussex line.

  • Agenda Item Report to Lead Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment Date 25 June 2007 Report by Director of Transport
    Agenda Item Report to Lead Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment Date 25 June 2007 Report By Director of Transport and Environment Title of Report National Cycle Network Route 21 – Cuckoo Trail Northern Extension Purpose of Report To consider the report of the feasibility study undertaken by consultants, Atkins Limited RECOMMENDATIONS 1. To note the report by Atkins Limited, the Executive Summary of which is set out in Appendix 1, and the commentary prepared by officers contained in Appendix 2.; and 2. To agree that further local consultation on the report’s findings will take place before any decision is taken regarding options for the Cuckoo Trail Northern Extension. 1. Financial Appraisal 1.1 There are no significant financial implications at this stage in respect of the recommendations detailed in this report. The further local consultation will require the hire of a suitable venue for a meeting at a cost of approximately £100 plus staff time which can be met from the revenue budget for Traffic Management. 1.2 In the event that the scheme proceeds, the Atkins report suggests a range of costs for the Heathfield to Mayfield section of £260,000 to £1 million depending on the option chosen, for which there is no current budget allocation. 2. Supporting Information 2.1 The National Cycle Network (NCN) Route 21 passes through East Sussex from Polegate to the county boundary near East Grinstead. At present the first 11 miles of this link from Polegate to Heathfield runs along the Cuckoo Trail, a high quality, largely traffic- free route, and similarly the last 10 miles from Groombridge to the county boundary is a traffic-free facility along the Forest Way.

This document describes our Penalty Fares Scheme for the purposes of rule 3.2 b. 1.2 We have decided to introduce a Penalty Fares Scheme because the previous operator of the railway passenger services comprised of the Thameslink Great Northern franchise, First Capital Connect and Southern Railways, operated a Penalty Fares Scheme in such franchise area and the experience has proved that it is an efficient means to deter ticketless travel. In addition, once some Southeastern routes and stations are integrated into the TSGN franchise from 14 December 2014 and once the entire current Southern franchise is integrated into the TSGN franchise on 26th July 2015, it is important that there is consistency across all franchise areas (as Southeastern and Southern both also operate a Penalty Fares Scheme); so as to avoid causing confusion for our passengers. This scheme will now include all stations under schemes previously operated by Govia Thameslink Railway Limited and Southern Railway Limited.

  • Railways at Lewes, by Robert Cheesman Introduction
    Railways at Lewes, by Robert Cheesman Introduction This article came about as a result of a request from a member of Friends of Lewes after one of our talks in January, 2017. Two managers from the BAM-Nuttall team who had completed a year-long renovation of the station’s listed buildings came to describe the challenges they had faced and this was preceded by a short history of railways in the town by Robert Cheesman, Chairman of the Friends of Lewes. Afterwards it was suggested that it would be interesting to have a more detailed account. A.H. Homewood postcard of Lewes Station c. 1905, John Hollands collection * 1 Description of the lines Image © Railway Magazine * After some speculative schemes had been put forward, the first railway from Brighton opened on 8 June 1846, having bisected the Priory Remains to reach Lewes. The station was in Friars Walk and had an ornate Italianate frontage on to the street. This station survived until it was demolished without permission over the Easter weekend in 1969. Friars Walk frontage of the original Lewes station * 2 On 27 June 1846 services were extended to St Leonards (Bulverhythe), but this meant that services from Brighton to St Leonards had to reverse out of Lewes station as it was a terminus. The following year (1847) the London line from Keymer Junction, which tunnelled for some 370 yards under the castle precinct, and the branch line to Newhaven opened. Many of these trains used the station in Friars Walk, although to make operating easier platforms were provided at Pinwell (from 1847) so that some through trains could stop in Lewes without having to reverse out of the station.
