Market Garden at MSDC

Market Garden Clappers Lane Fulking at MSDC
The Planning Application SDNP/15/04159/FUL (application for one gypsy pitch at Market Garden, Clappers Lane, Fulking) has been recommended for permanent approval by Mid Sussex Planning and is to be decided at a formal meeting of the Mid Sussex District Council Planning Committee to be held at 7:00pm on Thursday 19th November at Council Chamber, Mid Sussex District Council, Oaklands Road, Haywards Heath. This recommendation is contrary to what the Parish Council had previously been advised. Anyone who is interested in the application may attend (click the map above for a PDF copy of the relevant document). If you need more information, please contact Derek Blackhall (parishclerk@fulking.net).

The PC will be attending the Committee meeting and will be speaking against the application, based on comments and feedback received at the PC planning meeting held on 9th September.

Clappers Lane reprofiling reprofiled

5-13 Clappers Lane Fulking
MSDC have advised that the large bank outside 5 to 13 Clappers Lane is about to be ‘reprofiled’, i.e., the level reduced to the same height as the footpath and graded down to the road. It will then be turfed. This is because of erosion and earth falling into the road, a problem that I first reported a year ago. The work will start on Monday 2nd November Friday 6th November and last for up to 3 days 5 weekdays. Access to Clappers Lane from the village will be severely limited during working hours between about 8:00am and 4:00pm.
