Press Relea Press Release LINDFIELD RURAL PARISH COUNCIL Walstead Chapel, East Mascalls Lane Lindfield West Sussex, RH16 2QJ Tel: 01444 831499 Email: [email protected] Website: http://www.lindfieldrural -pc.org.uk PRESS RELEASE For immediate use 16 November 2020 Lindfield Rural Parish Office Move Completed Lindfield Rural Parish Council has now completed its office move to the Walstead Chapel (which was built in 1854) in East Mascalls Lane (full address above) from its previous location in the Millenium Centre in Scaynes Hill. The new office is now fully operational and members of the public can make contact by telephone on 01444 831499 or by email clerk@lindfieldrural -pc.org.uk . Unfortunately, the opening times for personal visits to the offices are suspended at the moment due to Covid 19 so therefore members of the public are encouraged to phone or email when i nitially making contact with the Council. Trevor Webster, Chair of the Council said “The new office is a vast improvement on our previous accommodation as we now have our own meeting accommodation, where previously we had to hire rooms. There are also exc ellent facilities for having confidential conversations with our residents and we have much improved office accommodation for our staff. The completion of the move now means that once the pandemic restrictions are relaxed, we can welcome visitors to the Chapel Offices, and also implement our engagement strategy which recognises the important role of the Council has in maintaining public face to face contact on a regular basis. In future we intend to be proactive by making ourselves more accessible by at tending existing events, at places where our residents already meet (such as church groups, coffee mornings, residents’ groups etc). Also, in the future, where appropriate, we will respond to queries and requests for help by making personal visits. This m ove puts the Council in a much stronger position to deliver the future services to our residents and visitors” ENDS NOTE 1. Please contact Santi Gil, Clerk to the Council (see contact details above) in connection with this press release 2. Walstead Chapel (see attached photo) is owned by the Council and has been previously let as offices by the Council. The Chapel is 156 years old and retains many of its original features with tiled roofs in tradition ecclesiastical style with wood lined tun nel vaulted ceilings and tall stone framed three light arched windows 3. Lindfield Rural Parish is located in the central eastern portion of Mid Sussex District in West Sussex. The parish is located immediately to the north, east and south east of Lindfield Parish and encapsulates most of the countryside along the eastern edge of Haywards Heath, stretching as far as the East Sussex County boundary. It is mainly rural in nature, comprising a number of small hamlets such as Walstead and East Mascalls. There are, however, two larger population centres within the parish: the area adjacent to the Lindfield Village boundary between Scrase Brook and Gravelye Lane and the larger village settlement at Scaynes Hill .

  • Lindfield Rural Parish Council
    Lindfield Rural Parish Council Chairman: Millennium Village Centre Trevor Webster Lewes Road, Scaynes Hill West Sussex RH17 7PG Clerk to the Council: Mr Santi Gil Tel: 01444 831499 email: [email protected] www.lindfieldrural-pc.org.uk Mid Sussex District Council Oaklands Rd, Haywards Heath RH16 1SS Date: 14th April 2020 Submitted to the MSDC Planning Portal Dear Mr Ashdown, Reference: Outline Planning Application DM/20/0559 Haywards Heath Golf Club, High Beech Lane, Haywards Heath Attached to this letter is the response to the above outline planning application at Haywards Heath Golf Course by Enplan made on behalf of Lindfield Rural Parish Council (LRPC) and Lindfield Parish Council (LPC). The representations set out the strong planning objections to the application which are unanimously supported by LRPC and LPC. In addition to the attached representation we would like to refer to the following matters which have been highlighted to us by many local residents in respect of the application. Sustainability The application fails to provide any recognition of the impact that the construction of 725 houses will have on Lindfield Rural Parish given that this will result in an approximately 65% increase in population. In terms of sustainability and infrastructure, particularly in respect of access to schools and doctors’ surgeries, facilities are already full and are under increasing pressure with families moving into the area through the construction of other residential schemes. Another 750 homes would generate large numbers of school age children at all levels up to Sixth Form thereby creating the need to travel, contrary to sustainability principles.

  • Pond Island Discs Lindfield's Christmas Past Festive Church
    Local village talk, by the village Dec. 2019 Issue #131 Inc. Scaynes Hill & Walstead Free Lindfield’s Christmas past page 20 Pond Island Discs page 56 Festive church services page 37 LL131 Dec mag.indd 1 19/11/2019 14:24 2 Find, follow and share us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram www.lindfieldlife.co.uk LL131 Dec mag.indd 2 19/11/2019 14:24 EDITORIAL By David Tingley, Editor In my head, December is always ‘the’ busy month of the year, but it’s easy to forget just what a heavy, community-centred time November is here in Lindfield. We pay some homage to that in this issue. Page 28 reminds us of the great work that Lindfield Bonfire Society does in the village. Putting on an event of that scale and quality is no mean feat and I’m sure you’d join me thanking all those who made it happen on 5th November. Similarly, I wanted to acknowledge the sterling effort that many residents made to come out on Remembrance Sunday to both the church and the parade down the High Street – captured on page 48. This month being the Christmas issue means we are certainly not short of things to say... As is tradition, the four village churches (including St Augustine’s, as Scaynes Hill is part of Lindfield Rural Parish - in case you didn’t know!) have taken the centre spread to ensure readers know where and when Christmas services take place – turn to page 37. There’s plenty of other Christmas content too.

  • Local Green Spaces in Lindfield Rural Parish
    Local Green Spaces in Lindfield Rural Parish The Parish of Lindfield Rural lies within the heart of Mid Sussex and covers some 1967 hectares. The population at the 2001 census was 2595 and is concentrated in Scaynes Hill and to the north and south around the village of Lindfield. The settlements of Walstead, East Mascalls, Paxhill and Buxshalls are also within the Parish. The river Ouse cuts across the Parish at virtually its centre and its tributary, Scrase Brook, runs to the rear of the allotment gardens in Gravelye Lane and The Hollow and forms the western boundary with the Village of Lindfield and Haywards Heath. A number of areas within and adjacent to the built up areas of the Parish, especially in Scaynes Hill, are considered valuable Green Space assets for the community: 1. Scaynes Hill Common The Common, beside Church Road, was purchased by the Parish from the Manor of Balneath, in 1996. It is a Site of Nature Conservation Importance and is maintained in a natural state for the benefit of the community and the environment. 2. Anchor Pond and Common, Scaynes Hill Another area owned by the Parish is the pond and surrounding area in front of the Inn on the Green Pub at the top of Anchor Hill on the Lewes Road in Scaynes Hill. The pond is home to a variety of wildlife, including the protected Great Crested Newt, and would have originally been created as a dewpond, getting its water mainly from rainfall, although it is thought that before the road up Anchor Hill was widened, there had been a spring that also fed the pond; the road widening works are thought to have diverted the spring.

CHAIRMAN’S OVERVIEW (Chairman of Council, Councillor William Blunden) As ever this has been an interesting and challenging year for your Parish Council and also frustrating particularly in terms of planning as there is still no District Plan and five year land supply for Mid Sussex and the Lindfield and Lindfield Rural Neighbourhood Plan, which had passed referendum and was “made” by resolution of Mid Sussex District Council in March last year was challenged by a consortium of developers. We were very sorry to lose two of our Councillors recently - Alan Gomme and Stewart Shortland have both had to resign due to health reasons. Alan contributed a great deal to the work of the Council as a member for nearly ten years and Chairman of the Planning and Traffic Committee for the last five. As Chairman of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee he devoted countless hours of his time, taking the plan through the various stages of consultation, drafting, revision etc.

In this issue of Lindfield Life we have crammed in numerous items of news. Some are retrospective and give us reports of what’s already happened. One such example is the Pink Ladies Night which took place back in November but we haven’t been able to cover it until now. Read Amanda Harries’ article on page 5. Elsewhere there is information about forthcoming events in the life of the village. One of great importance is the Referendum Vote for the Lindfied & Lindfield Rural Neighbourhood Plan due to take place on 28th January. Read more about it in the Parish Council newsletter on page 30, but you can also read a personal view by a resident on page 7. Many hundreds of hours have been put into this plan by a number of good folk for the benefit of all villagers - so please do look into what the plan suggests, and try and make time to vote on the day. On page 26 Caroline Young gives us a few quick and easy sauces to give the over-worked festive chefs some well-deserved down time this month.
