    Jane Noble, Forum Officer West Sussex West Sussex Local Access Forum First Floor, Northleigh Local Access Tower Street, Chichester West Sussex PO19 1RH (03302) 226691 Forum [email protected] www.wslaf.org 15th February 2018 Sent by email to: [email protected] For the attention of James Appleton Dear Mr Appleton Application: AWDM/0961/17 – Amended Plans and Further Information to Environment Statement (FEIS) – Land West of New Monks Farm, Mash Barn Lane, Lancing, West Sussex I am responding to the above consultation on behalf of the West Sussex Local Access Forum (WSLAF). West Sussex Local Access Forum (WSLAF) is an independent advisory body, established under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, to give access advice to local authorities, statutory organisations and non-government organisations. In giving that advice the Forum's main objective is to ensure the existing network of public rights of way (PRoW), as well as the wider access network, is protected and where possible enhanced. The Forum has a balanced membership of knowledgeable and experienced users (walkers, cyclists, horse riders and carriage drivers), landowners and other interests (including conservation, disabled access, landscape). For further information about the Forum please visit www.wslaf.org. As you will be aware from the Forum’s previous responses in February 2016 and September 2017, members feel very strongly that the proposed development at New Monks Farm offers the best possible opportunity for the delivery of a grade separated non-motorised user (NMU) crossing of the A27 at this location. The proposed removal of the existing controlled at-grade crossing at the junction of Old Shoreham Road and Coombes Road has now made this delivery essential.

  • CYCLISTS! DON’T LOSE YOUR CROSSING OVER the A27! Old Shoreham Toll Bridge / Shoreham
    CYCLISTS! DON’T LOSE YOUR CROSSING OVER THE A27! Old Shoreham Toll Bridge / Shoreham to Coombes, Botolphs, Annington, Steyning & beyond The crossing over the A27 from the Old Shoreham Road (via the Old Shoreham Toll Bridge) to Coombes Road WILL BE REMOVED AND THE JUNCTION WILL BE CLOSED if the New Monks Farm proposals are approved! Instead there would be at least a 1km detour with FOUR sets of lights over a new roundabout. Other alternatives are unlikely to be desirable or viable. DEADLINE 29 September 2017 Object now! Email: [email protected] quoting planning application AWDM/0961/17 You must include your full name and address. (or go to https://planning.adur-worthing.gov.uk/ and search for ref no above - more difficult.) Suggested points below: 1. I object to the closure of the Sussex Pad juncon, a direct and popular crossing for pedestrians and cyclists over the A27. 2. The proposed alternave is totally unacceptable, involving a 1km detour and 4 sets of lights. 3. If the exisng crossing is removed, it must be replaced by a bridge or underpass which gives safe, direct access across the A27 from Old Shoreham Road to Coombes Road for pedestrians, cyclists and other non- car users. For more points please turn over 4. A replacement crossing must be usable in all weathers and at all mes of day i.e. well lit, not vulnerable to flooding, with a tarmac surface, not gravel. 5. The proposed replacement crossing does not meet high quality standards in walking and cycling. Reference: Highways England’s Interim Advice Note 195/16.

  • Joint Parishes Burial Board Botolphs Cemetery
    Joint Parishes Burial Board Botolphs Cemetery Annington Road, Botolphs Nr Bramber West Sussex BN44 3WB www.botolphscemetery.co.uk Clerk to the Board Colette Harber Tel: 01903 814586 [email protected] INTRODUCTION Botolphs Cemetery was established by the Parish Councils of Bramber, Steyning and Upper Beeding. It was opened on the 1st August 1988, primarily for local inhabitants. It is set in the South Downs National Park and lies on the west bank of the River Adur; to the south of St Botolphs Church. The Cemetery is non-consecrated and non-denominational. However, the Minister officiating at the burial or the interment of ashes can dedicate the grave or plot at the time of the funeral, if that is desired. The Trustees of Botolphs Cemetery are the Parish Councils of Bramber, Steyning and Upper Beeding. The management of the cemetery is overseen by the Joint Parishes Burial Board (the Board), which is made up of two members of each Parish Council and representatives from the local Churches. The Board meets six times per year, and holds an Annual Meeting open to the public. Each September, there is an Memorial Service. The aim of the Board is to preserve and enhance the rural nature of Botolphs Cemetery as the final resting place for local parishioners. The Clerk to the Board is the first point of contact. ----------------------------- This revised brochure was approved by the Joint Parishes Burial Board on 31 January 2012. The conditions contained in this brochure apply to all applications received on or after that date. Any existing memorial installed in the Cemetery, which does not comply with the conditions in this brochure, must not be taken as a precedent.
