  • Environmental Pollution and Decontamination
    Background and Context Following three days of exceptionally heavy rain on already saturated ground, the River Ouse overtopped the flood defences and flooded substantial parts of Lewes. 613 residential and 207 business properties were flooded, along with 16 public buildings. 1000 people were displaced. 503 vehicles were damaged or destroyed and the total cost of the flooding was given as £88 million. How the Topic was Handled A Restoration Sub-Group was appointed, working to the Lewes Flood Recovery Co-ordinating Group . Its Terms of Reference were “ To co- ordinatethe clear-up of the affected areas, including the consideration of long- term health issues .” Represented on the sub-group were: • Lewes District Council (Environmental Health, Housing Maintenance, Building Control, Design & Conservation) • East Sussex County Council (Transport & Environment, Trading Standards) • East Sussex Brighton & Hove Health Authority (Public Health Consultant). This sub-group met five times, under the chairmanship of a senior Environmental Health Officer from Lewes DC, the last time being in May 2001. Key points arising were: • Provision of public health advice, particularly on how to handle cleaning up flooded homes and avoiding contamination. • Flooding of industrial areas released oil and other pollutants. As water receded, oil became concentrated in one watercourse. Environment Agency boomed (contained with bunding) some 70,000 litres of waste and heating oil and removed by tanker. • Flood stirred up dormant soil content from previous industrialisation. • Concern about children and pets playing in contaminated gardens. • Regional epidemiologist commenced survey into health effects in July 2001 using sample of 120 flood-affected households and ‘control’ population of non-flooded households.

  • Highways & Byways in Sussex
    Highways & Byways in Sussex by E. V. Lucas (1904) CHAPTER XXXIV: EASTBOURNE Eastbourne is the most select, or least democratic, of the Sussex watering places. Fashion does not resort thither as to Brighton in the season, but the crowds of excursionists that pour into Brighton and Hastings are comparatively unknown at Eastbourne; which is in a sense a private settlement, under the patronage of the Duke of Devonshire. Hastings is of the people; Brighton has a character almost continental; Eastbourne is select. Lawn tennis and golf are its staple products, one played on the very beautiful links behind the town hard by Compton Place, the residence of the Duke; the other in Devonshire Park. It is also an admirable town for horsemanship. … The Martello towers, which Pitt built during the Napoleonic scare at the beginning of last century, begin at Eastbourne, where the cliffs cease, and continue along the coast into Kent. They were erected probably quite as much to assist in allaying public fear by a tangible and visible symbol of defense as from any idea that they would be a real service in the event of invasion. Many of them have now disappeared. BEACHY HEAD Eastbourne's glory is Beachy Head, the last of the Downs, which stop dead at the town The Beekeeper’s Apprentice Common Core study unit—www.LaurieRKing.com and never reappear in Sussex again. The range takes a sudden turn to the south at Folkington, whence it rolls straight for the sea, Beachy Head being the ultimate eminence. (The name Beachy has, by the way, nothing to do with the beach: it is derived probably from the Normans' description—"beau chef.") About Beachy Head one has the South Downs in perfection: the best turf, the best prospect, the best loneliness, and the best air.

  • Duty to Cooperate: Statement of Common Ground Cross-Boundary Working and Meeting Housing Needs
    Duty to cooperate: Statement of common ground Cross-boundary working and meeting housing needs This agreement is between: Lewes District Council South Downs National Park Authority Adur District Council Arun District Council Brighton and Hove City Council Chichester District Council Crawley Borough Council Eastbourne Borough Council Hastings Borough Council Horsham District Council Mid Sussex District Council Rother District Council Wealden District Council Worthing Borough Council Map 1: Lewes district in context 1 1. Background 1.1 Section 110 of the Localism Act 2011 places a legal duty on local planning authorities and other prescribed bodies to cooperate with each other on strategic planning matters insofar as they are relevant to their administrative areas throughout the preparation of their development plan documents. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2012 reiterates this duty and requires an independent inspector to assess whether the development plan they are examining has been prepared in accordance with the duty to cooperate. 1.2 It is expected that engagement and cooperation will be constructive, active and ongoing in order to maximise effectiveness throughout plan preparation as well as implementation, delivery and subsequent review. The national Planning Practice Guidance confirms that this is not a duty to agree but that local planning authorities should make every effort to secure the necessary cooperation on cross-boundary strategic matters before submitting development plan documents for examination. The examination will test whether the duty has been complied with. 2. Purpose 2.1 This statement of common ground sets out how Lewes District Council and South Downs National Park Authority have actively and positively sought to comply with the duty to cooperate in the preparation of the Joint Core Strategy development plan document on strategic planning matters, with the main cross-boundary factor affecting Lewes district being housing provision.

Introduction 1.1 Members will recall considering a report at the October 2017 Authority meeting which summarised the position reached in the review of the local planning policies for the National Park and established the timetable for the remaining stages in the review (NFNPA 534/17). This report now seeks formal member endorsement of the proposed Submission draft New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016 – 2036 for the purposes of a final six week period of consultation to commence in January 2018; and then submission to the Secretary of State for independent examination in Spring 2018. 1.2 This report highlights the main policy approaches in the Submission draft Local Plan, which have been informed by the representations received on the draft Local Plan in 2016 and the completion of a number of evidence base studies. The Submission draft Local Plan also has regard to the changes in national planning policy announced this year. 2. The role of the Local Plan 2.1 The Government’s National Parks Vision and Circular (2010) recognises the importance of the planning system in the delivery of the two National Park purposes. For this reason the Environment Act 1995 makes national park authorities legally the sole planning authorities for their areas, covering the development management, planning enforcement, minerals & waste planning and planning policy functions.

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) reiterates this duty and requires an independent inspector to assess whether the plan they are examining has been prepared in accordance with the duty. 1.2 This statement has been prepared as a supporting document to the Lewes District Local Plan Part 2 submission and it sets out how the Duty to Cooperate has been met in preparing this plan. 1.3 The Duty to Cooperate requires ongoing constructive and active engagement on the preparation of development plan documents and other activities relating to sustainable development and the use of land. In particular it applies to strategic planning matters where they affect more than one local planning authority area. 1.4 Most cross-boundary issues affecting the district were dealt with in the recently adopted Local Plan Part 1and do not fall to be re-opened. Local Plan Part 2 is not a strategic plan; rather it is the detailed implementation of the existing strategic plan – the Local Plan Part 1. 1.5 In the Report on the Examination into the Lewes District Local Plan Part 1 – Joint Core Strategy1 published on 22nd March 2016 the Inspector confirmed in his assessment of the duty to cooperate: “The Councils have established effective and on-going working relationships with neighbouring and nearby local planning authorities, particularly through the East Sussex Strategic Planning Members Group and the Coastal West Sussex and Greater Brighton Strategic Planning Board.

  • Rother District Council
    Rother District Local Plan – Inspector’s Report Section 9 – Employment Developments on this single track railway would necessarily be relatively infrequent and there is a lack of evidence before me to support assertions that the operation of the railway would destroy the peace or tranquillity of the valley or that the previous extension to Bodiam had such an effect. The low embankments and suitably-designed river bridges would have a limited visual impact on what is a large scale open landscape. 9.55 However it is more difficult to predict the visual impact of the works that would be necessary to cross the various roads since these crossings have not been designed. If, as appears likely (see below), the relevant authorities would only sanction a bridge crossing of the A21 and B2244, that would require considerable engineering structures to take the road over the railway or vice versa. These works would include the bridge itself and necessary associated cuttings or embankments. Embankments appear to be the more likely given the location of the crossings within the river flood plain where cuttings could take the road or railway below the level of the water table. To achieve the necessary clearance, embankments would probably be significantly taller and wider than the original railway embankments with a greater landscape impact. However the actual impact on the AONB cannot be predicted without a designed scheme. Impact on farming operations and on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers 9.56 Subject to detailed consideration at the planning application stage, I consider that the proposed route is likely to be sufficiently remote from residential property that the noise or other emissions from the railway would not be unacceptably harmful to the living conditions of the occupiers.
