  • A3 Hadlow Hill 10 P1&2 Cover Pmd.Pmd
    HADLOW CONSERVATION AREAS Introduction The objective of the Hadlow Conservation Areas Appraisal is to analyse and record the special character of the Conservation Areas. The Hadlow High Street Conservation Area was originally designated in 1972. Following an assessment of the conservation area boundary, the Borough Council proposes to update it to include new areas and exclude others. Aseparate Conservation Area at The Freehold is also proposed. The appraisal covers the areas within the revised High Street Conservation Area boundary, together with the proposed additional Conservation Area, and provides further details to assist with the interpretation and use of planning policies. It will help guide the Council in making planning decisions on planning applications and to this end will be adopted for development control purposes. It is intended that this appraisal will inform and influence the activities of the Council and other bodies (e.g. Kent County Council and other statutory agencies), where these impact on the Conservation Areas. It will also assist in the identification of any APPRAISAL programmes of action that are considered appropriate by these bodies, subject, of course, to financial limitations and other priorities they may have. Importantly, it is hoped that the appraisal will prove to be of help to residents, businesses and landowners. For anyone proposing new development or changes within the Conservation Areas, the appraisal should be read in conjunction with the Borough Council’s Conservation Area Advice Note. This includes guidance on the broad issues to be considered and the special controls that apply in Conservation Areas. AREAS As the purpose of this appraisal is to describe the character of the area, it does not include a detailed description of every feature or building.

  • Piddinghoe, East Sussex June 2019
    The Villager Piddinghoe, East Sussex June 2019 The Villager • June 2019 • Issue 137 EDITORIAL Half the year over and done with. First half was spent, seemingly, living out the plot of ‘Le Hoe de Piding’. Second half, we predict, will be more of the same (but much worse) and satire will become no laughing matter. Into our midst (thank god, 60 miles away) came the leader of the Free World. Her Majesty, unfortunately for her, was held prisoner and in a matter of a couple of days earned every penny of her annual stipend given her by a grateful nation. The highlight was the photo of the Downing Street cat, Larry, sitting under Mr President’s car – The Beast – treating it as nothing more than a handy place to keep its fur dry while it rained. The cat had put the car in its place. The Beast?.... so what! No beasts around here, apart from a young weasel seen enthusiastically exploring the south end of the village. This is the kind of thing that Angie would write about in her ‘Grass Roots’ articles but Angie is on holiday. Also missing is ‘Art Jottings’ because Gill is very involved with her new puppy. Welcome to Piddinghoe, Alfie! Both Angie and Gill will return. ’Piddinghoe People’ appears in a slightly different format to focus on Guylee Simmonds, who is packing into the next few months more than most of us would dare do in a lifetime. Guylee’s idea of a cruise is not what one sees in the newspaper supplements. We wish him well, and above all, a safe journey.

  • A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project
    A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project The people who initiated the Egrets Way Project in 2011 were not the first group of local residents to join forces to identify a safe cycling route which would connect Newhaven, Lewes and the villages in between. In 2004, an earlier attempt by members of the POLO (Parishes of the Lower Ouse) group to create a ‘Greenway’ running alongside the C7 Lewes to Newhaven Road had foundered when no achievable route could be identified. However, in Autumn, 2011, three significant events occurred which encouraged members of those same communities to try again: • the Environment Agency announced its intention to maintain the flood defences of the river in the Lower Ouse valley, • the Government announced substantial funding for sustainable transport plans, and • the South Downs National Park (SDNP), created in 2010, came into operation. Following public meetings, held for the purpose of measuring support for the project, a constitution was adopted, a Steering Committee was created, officers were elected, and the project known as the Ouse Valley Cycle Network (OVCN) came into being. A great deal of work then began to identify a route, locate relevant landowners and meet with representatives of organisations with shared interests as well as engaging with the public through parish council meetings and attendance at local events. By the end of the year, the group had joined forces with a working party from the Kingston Road and Cranedown Residents Association and the Kingston Action Group which had long been exploring the possibility of creating an off-road cycleway connecting Kingston and Lewes.
