  • Reserve News April 2018
    Reserve News April 2018 Signs of spring - Blackcaps and chiffchaffs are out in force singing. Wild daffodils at West Dean woods have made a good show, but bluebells have been slow to come into flower this year, but will be looking good by the end of the month. Barry Lindfield, a lovely regular volunteer for Tuesday hit squad for the past twelve years has stepped down from active duties. We would like to thank him, and all our other long-serving volunteers, for their help over the years. A new volunteer Sunday group at Ditchling Beacon has made a good start with scrub removal and they are trialling the best method for using new tree poppers on steep slopes. An accidental heathland burn at Iping Common at the end of February, caused by a scrub-burning fire which got out of control, has generated some local and well-publicised concerns. SWT are reviewing the procedures for managing bonfires on the reserves and will ensure that best practice will be followed in the future, especially important at this difficult time of year. Despite the initial visual impact, the outcome of the burn has also been positive, as much of the burnt area will now regenerate with fresh growth and improve the habitat for many years to come. Looking to volunteer with us? Please check the web site to find out where we are currently look for volunteers to get involved and then register your interest by completing our registration form, specifying which reserve or project you are interested in https://sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/get- involved/volunteer/volunteer-registration-form If you would like an informal chat about what is happening locally and how you could get involved at your local reserve please contact the reserve or project lead listed below.

  • Hassocks Neighbourhood Plan Responses Summary
    Hassocks Neighbourhood Plan - Summary of Representations Ref# Cmt# Respondent Organisation Behalf Of Policy Page Type 38 1 Mr G H Marples Comments I have been a resident of Hassocks for over 40 years, have lived at the above address for the past two and a half and been a ward member for Hassocks on Mid Sussex District Council since 2003. I declare a prejudicial interest in respect of Site 4 in the draft plan as it backs on to the rear of my garden. As the Plan links site 4 to site 13 (Clayton Mills) I think I should declare an interest in the latter as well, even though it does not directly affect me and I would not normally have declared an interest in it. I support the inclusion of some of the sites proposed, recognising local housing need and the popularity of Hassocks with its sense of community, good schools and rail transport links. Roads are already congested but are probably no worse than many places. This is the price we pay for modern living, prosperity and high dependence on private cars. My comments on those sites which, for me, raise concerns are as follows: Land around Friars Oak, Sites 9 and 16. Until recently, I lived for over 40 years within half a mile of these sites. There is a “hybrid” planning application for circa 120 houses in this area currently being assessed but I support the draft plan’s recommendation that it should be designated as a Local Green Space for several reasons. In no order of significance, I have already expressed concerns about vehicular access to the proposed site off the A273 and the additional air quality issues the resultant traffic would create at Stonepound Crossroads, a short distance to the south.
