  • Eastbourne to Hastings Via Bexhill Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Eastbourne to Hastings via Bexhill walk Flat coastal walk along the south coast past busy sea front promenades and quiet beaches. Shingle Check the tide times before doing this walk - do the middle section at low tide if possible The middle 2 km section of this walk is along a beach which at mid and high tide is all shingle, which is not fun to walk on. At low tide there is a sandy beach below the shingle which is much more pleasant to walk on. At mid/high tide, you could instead walk along the coast road (no sea view), catch a regular bus or irregular train. Length 24 km/15 miles - shorter options from around 8 km/5 miles Toughness 1 out of 10 (7 out of 10 if walking on shingle) Features This gentle walk follows the 15 miles (24 km) of flat coastline between Eastbourne and Hastings. It is in 3 parts - 2 seafront promenades with a quiet shingle beach in between which is nice to walk on only at low tide when the flat sandy part of the beach is uncovered. If doing the middle section, check tide times so you can walk along sand at low tide, rather than the shingle, which is very heavy going. Although the entire walk is quite long, there are shorter options, as there is a railway line following the coast, with several stations en-route. Eastbourne to Pevensey Bay - seafront promenade Starting in Eastbourne, a faded Edwardian grandeur seaside resort, the walk heads from the station down through a pedestrian shopping street to a very nice seafront esplanade and a Victorian pier (1 km) and a sandy beach.

  • REP-7214-001 Chris Lewcock Position Statement on Matter 1 (Pdf)
    Statement of Representations by Christopher Peter Lewcock on behalf of the Bulverhythe Protectors I have a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Urban and Regional Planning, a Diploma in Development Studies and an MPhil in Land Economy. I worked for a total of eleven years in English Local Authority Planning Departments. I have also worked as a lecturer in the Built Environment at the University of Greenwich. The Localism Act 2011 (the Act) imposes on a local planning authority the duty to cooperate. This is explained further in relevant Central Government Guidance published 6 March 2014 (the Guidance 2014). They are required “… to engage constructively, actively and on an ongoing basis…“(the Act) … “to maximise the effectiveness of Local Plan … preparation in the context of strategic cross boundary matters” (the Guidance 2014). The duty to cooperate is imposed on the Council preparing their Plan but is equally true in respect of strategic matters of any neighbouring local planning authority. I would submit that Rother District, due to a lack of constructive engagement by Hastings Borough Council, may be unable to comply with this duty to cooperate. My particular concern is with the handling of the Strategic Gap between Bexhill and Hastings. In its Submission Rother District sets out the extent of cooperation on the Hastings urban fringe (paras 4.56 et seq). “Rother and Hastings Councils put forward a joint approach to development in Hastings and Bexhill to advance their shared future prosperity through the respective Core Strategies. This included the establishment of the Countryside Park as well as mutually agreed transport infrastructure improvements, with the now constructed Link Road as the first priority.

  • 1751 Report Ore Church V8.Dpd
    An Archaeological Interpretative Survey of OLD ST HELEN’S CHURCH, ORE, EAST SUSSEX by David Martin FSA IHBC MIFA & Barbara Martin AIFA AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATIVE SURVEY OF OLD ST HELEN’S CHURCH, ORE, EAST SUSSEX Commissioned by SUSSEX HERITAGE TRUST PROJECT REF. 5436 by David Martin FSA IHBC MIFA & Barbara Martin AIFA Archaeology South-East Institute of Archaeology University College London 2012 (Revised October 2012) STANDING BUILDINGS ARCHAEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATIVE SURVEYS AN INTRODUCTORY NOTE ABOUT THESE SURVEYS The intended purpose of an Archaeological Interpretative Survey is to give an overview of the date, sequence of construction, and principal architectural features of a building. As such, they should not be regarded as a detailed archaeological record, nor should they be taken as definitive. Further research, particularly that undertaken during building works, is likely to refine and extend the archaeological record and could modify the dates suggested. These reports are aimed at three groups of user, namely those owners who wish to know more about their property, those persons (architects and planners) who are charged with the responsibility for both conserving the buildings and ensuring that they are carefully adapted to the needs of the future, and finally the academic carrying out wider historical or archaeological research. A secure use for the future is, in our opinion, the only way of ensuring the long-term survival of any historical building. INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUE Unless noted to the contrary, the assessments involve a visual inspection of the fabric, both internally and externally, including any accessible roof voids and basement areas. Except where building works are being carried out, intrusive techniques are inappropriate.

  • East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction
    eastsussex.gov.uk East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction The year was again dominated by efforts towards achieving The Keep, the new Historical Resource Centre, but the core work of the Record Office continued more busily than ever and there was much of which to be proud. In July 2008 we took in our ten-thousandth accession, something of a milestone in the office’s own history of almost 60 years. An application to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for £4.9million towards the costs of The Keep was submitted by the Record Office on behalf of the capital partners, East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the University of Sussex, in September. This represented around 20% of the anticipated costs of the building, since the partners remain committed to find the remainder. In December we learned our fate: that we had been unsuccessful. Feedback from the HLF indicated that ours had been an exemplary application, and one which they would have liked to have supported but, in a year when the effect of diverting HLF money to the Olympics was being felt, it was thought necessary to give precedence to some very high-profile projects. We were, of course, disappointed, but determined not to be deterred, and the partners agreed to pursue ways forward within the existing funding. Because it would further hold up the project, adding to inflation costs, but give no guarantee of success, we decided not to re-apply to the HLF, and by the end of the financial year were beginning to look at options for a less expensive building.
