Carbon Footprint JBA is aiming to reduce its per capita carbon emissions. Gatwick sub-region Water Cycle Study iii Executive Summary In November 2019, JBA Consulting was commissioned by Crawley Borough Council acting on behalf of the councils in the Gatwick Sub-Region (Crawley Borough Council, Horsham District Council, Mid Sussex District Council and Reigate and Banstead Council), to undertake a joint Water Cycle Study (WCS) to inform and provide updated evidence for the councils pre-existing and emerging Local or District Plans. This study assesses the potential issues relating to future development within the Gatwick Sub-Region and the impacts on water supply, wastewater collection and treatment and water quality. The Water Cycle Study is required to assess the constraints and requirements that will arise from potential growth on the water infrastructure. New homes require the provision of clean water, safe disposal of wastewater and protection from flooding. The allocation of large numbers of new homes in certain locations may result in the capacity of existing available infrastructure being exceeded, a situation that could potentially cause service failures to water and wastewater customers, adverse impacts to the environment, or high costs for the upgrade of water and wastewater assets being passed on to the bill payers. In addition to increased housing demand, future climate change presents further challenges to the existing water infrastructure network, including increased intensive rainfall events and a higher frequency of drought events. Sustainable planning for water must now take this into account. The water cycle can be seen in the figure below and shows how the natural and man- made processes and systems interact to collect, store or transport water in the environment. The Water Cycle Source: Environment Agency – Water Cycle Study Guidance This study will assist the councils in the Gatwick Sub-Region to select and develop sustainable development allocations where there is minimal impact on the environment, water quality, water resources, infrastructure and flood risk. This has been achieved by identifying areas where there may be conflict between any proposed development, the requirements of the environment (and the environmental legislative tests) and by recommending potential solutions to these conflicts. The Water Cycle Study has been carried out in co-operation with the water companies, the Environment Agency (EA) and Natural England (NE) whilst also using published information from the neighbouring Local Planning Authorities (LPAs). Potential development sites were provided by Crawley Borough Council (CBC), Horsham District Council (HDC), Mid Sussex District Council (MSDC) and Reigate & Banstead Borough Council Gatwick sub-region Water Cycle Study iv (RBBC) and wastewater treatment works (WwTW) likely to serve growth in the area were identified using the Environment Agency Consented Discharges to Controlled Waters database. Each development site was then allocated to a WwTW in order to understand the additional wastewater flow resulting from the planned growth. Available information was collated on water policy and legislation, water resources, water quality, and environmental designations within the study area. The objective of the study is to provide evidence to guide development towards the most sustainable sites. Red / Amber /Green (RAG) assessments have been prepared at the site scale where possible for the different aspects of the water cycle. It should be remembered that where a development is scored amber or red in a water supply or wastewater infrastructure assessment, it does not mean that development cannot or should not take place in that location, merely that significant infrastructure may be required to accommodate it. The decision on the suitability of sites is made up of a number of assessments outside the scope of this report. Many of the assessments in this report are based on the assumption that every identified potential allocation will come forward during the plan period and as such represents the ‘worst case’ for growth within each wastewater catchment. In reality the level of growth in each catchment is likely to be less and further analysis will be undertaken based on the final selection of sites. Water Resources South East Water (SEW), SES Water (SESW) and Southern Water (SW) are responsible for supplying the study area with water. In common with most of the south east, all of the Gatwick Sub-Region is an area of serious water stress. The more stringent water efficiency target for new development of 110 l/p/d allowed under Building Regulations is justified, however there is a clear need to go further than this. Southern Water have made reducing per capita consumption to 100 l/p/d an integral part of their water resource management plan. The WCS therefore recommends that the councils adopt a policy requiring all new development to achieve 100 l/p/d and to achieve 80 l/p/d in strategic developments. This approach is supported by all three water supply companies in the study area, the Environment Agency and Natural England. Growth plans defined in Water Resource Management Plans (WRMPs) are broadly in line with Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government household projections. Planned growth during the plan period for Horsham, Mid Sussex and Reigate and Banstead exceeds the percentage level of growth accounted for in WRMPs. In Crawley it is in line with the WRMP. SES Water, SEW and SW have confirmed that they have sufficient water resources to serve the proposed level of growth, however challenges have been identified in the Hardham catchment and discussions are ongoing to investigate the sustainability of this abstraction. Water supply infrastructure All the sites assessed in the study were given a green or amber score by SEW and SW based on the size of the development, and the likelihood of network reinforcement being required. No constraints to providing this reinforcement were identified. SESW did not provide a site by site assessment, advising that this would be done on a case by case process and the local plan develops. Wastewater collection infrastructure Southern Water and Thames Water (TW) provide wastewater services to the Gatwick Sub-Region Sewerage Undertakers have a duty under Section 94 of the Water Industry Act 1991 to provide sewerage and treat wastewater arising from new domestic development. Except where strategic upgrades are required to serve very large or multiple developments, infrastructure upgrades are usually only implemented following an application for a connection, adoption, or requisition from a developer. Early developer engagement with SW and TW is therefore essential to ensure that sewerage capacity can be provided without delaying development. Wastewater infrastructure upgrades would be required in order to serve the proposed level of growth. No constraints to providing this infrastructure have been identified by SW or TW. Gatwick sub-region Water Cycle Study v Wastewater treatment capacity SW and TW provided an assessment of the WwTW serving growth in their area based on the size of the development. JBA also performed a flow permit assessment in parallel to this based on the current flows provided by the water companies, flow permit and the additional effluent

  • Boating on Sussex Rivers
    K1&A - Soo U n <zj r \ I A t 1" BOATING ON SUSSEX RIVERS NRA National Rivers Authority Southern Region Guardians of the Water Environment BOATING ON SUSSEX RIVERS Intro duction NRA The Sussex Rivers have a unique appeal, with their wide valleys giving spectacular views of Chalk Downs within sight and smell of the sea. There is no better way to enjoy their natural beauty and charm than by boat. A short voyage inland can reveal some of the most attractive and unspoilt scenery in the Country. The long tidal sections, created over the centuries by flashy Wealden Rivers carving through the soft coastal chalk, give public rights of navigation well into the heartland of Sussex. From Rye in the Eastern part of the County, small boats can navigate up the River Rother to Bodiam with its magnificent castle just 16 miles from the sea. On the River Arun, in an even shorter distance from Littlehampton Harbour, lies the historic city of Arundel in the heart of the Duke of Norfolk’s estate. But for those with more energetic tastes, Sussex rivers also have plenty to offer. Increased activity by canoeists, especially by Scouting and other youth organisations has led to the setting up of regular canoe races on the County’s rivers in recent years. CARING FOR OUR WATERWAYS The National Rivers Authority welcomes all river users and seeks their support in preserving the tranquillity and charm of the Sussex rivers. This booklet aims to help everyone to enjoy their leisure activities in safety and to foster good relations and a spirit of understanding between river users.

  • SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER Page 28 SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER March 2009 Notice Regarding Elections at the AGM by Clare Jeffers on Behalf of the Committee
    SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER Page 28 SUSSEX MOTH GROUP NEWSLETTER March 2009 Notice regarding Elections at the AGM by Clare Jeffers on behalf of the committee At the indoor meeting last November the Sussex Moth Group committee talked about a proposal for formalising the election of committee members. The idea was that any committee member planning to stand down from their position should ideally make this known well in advance of the AGM, so that any upcoming 'vacancy' can be advertised to all our members in the Autumn news- letter and/or at the Winter indoor meeting. The committee supposed that advertising vacancies in this manner would give all members an equal opportunity to put themselves forward for a position on the committee and the committee proposed that, in the interests of fairness, elections would then be carried out by secret ballot - either by placing ballot papers in a box at the AGM, or by B l 'postal vote' in sealed envelope to the secretary. As it happens, our current Chairman, Sam Bayley, o x w announced at that meeting his intention to stand down at the next AGM and this fact was made o r t known to all members through the distribution of minutes from that meeting; any members willing h S to take on the position of Chairman were invited to put themselves forward. n o u t b The situation we find ourselves in now is that only one member, Steve Teale, has put themselves y G r forward for the Chairman's position and no one has expressed an interest in taking over any of the a e other positions on the committee; it therefore seems that the committee's original proposal to m e elect the officers of the committee by ballot is impractical.

  • Storrington, Sullington and Washington Neighbourhood Plan
    Storrington, Sullington and Washington WASHINGTON PARISH COUNCIL Neighbourhood Plan Dear Sirs Storrington, Sullington & Washington Neighbourhood Plan: Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment Scoping Letter I set out below for your attention the proposed scope of the Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA/SEA) to accompany the forthcoming Storrington, Sullington & Washington Neighbourhood Plan (SSWNP). This letter and its appendices should be regarded as the Scoping Report of the SSWNP in accordance with Stage A of the provisions of the Environmental Assessment of Plans & Programmes Regulations 2004 (which implement EU Directive 2001/42). As a statutory consultee in the Regulations you are invited to comment on this report and I would be grateful for your comment by 26th September 2014. Background The SSWNP is being prepared by the Storrington & Sullington Parish Council and Washington Parish Council as qualifying bodies under the 2012 Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations. In accordance with the 2004 Regulations 2004, the local planning authority, Horsham District Council, issued its formal screening opinion on 20 May 2014, concluding that an SEA is required and that it would prefer this is undertaken as part of a wider Sustainability Appraisal (SA/SEA). In its decision, the District Council has not made its reasons explicit for reaching this conclusion, but it is understood that the likely intention of the SSWNP to contain policies allocating land for development is the primary reason. A third of the designated area lies within the South Downs National Park and there are no European sites within the area, although the area does lie within the 15km buffer zone of the Arundel Valley SAC/SPA/Ramsar site.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

THE WALDEN LANDSCAPE IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTERS AND ITS ANTECELENTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by John Louis Mnkk Gulley 1960 ABSTRACT This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is , outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten.
