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.

Fireworks

Wise guys buy astra fireworks
With bonfire night approaching, please be sure to advise your neighbours if you are planning any fireworks – this is especially important if they have pets and/or livestock so that arrangements can be made to ensure the animals are in a safe environment to save them unnecessary distress. This applies at any time of the year, not just the traditional November round of fireworks.

The Parish Council has been advised that an animal needed veterinary treatment following a recent private firework display where the neighbours had not been pre-warned.

South Downs Local Plan Road Show

South Downs Local Plan

Wednesday 16th September 15:00–20:00 in Arundel Town Hall

Chris Paterson of the SDNPA writes:

[We] have sent out packs of posters and leaflets to all parish councils, but some of these packages do not appear to have arrived .. and therefore the publicity material has not gone out in the parish. I have had some parish councils confirm receipt of this material (Posters and Postcards) but not all.

If you would like to download a PDF of the full plan from the SDNPA website in advance of the roadshow, well, good luck. They will sell you a paper copy though — but you have to phone or email the SDNPA first in order to find out what it costs.

Fulking Village Action Plan Meeting

Fulking Village Action Plan 2014
The annual meeting of the Fulking Village Action Plan Group is to be held on Wednesday 12th August at 6:00pm in the Village Hall. As the plan is now established and is ticking along, it has been suggested that the group should be disbanded and responsibility for the plan handed over to the Parish Council. This way, the plan will still be active and the opportunity to update it will still be available to the community.

If you have any suggestions, thoughts or comments, please do come along to the meeting to discuss them.

Cattle on The Downs

Posted on

Cow plus NT signRecently, villagers have become concerned about a number of incidents between residents and the cattle grazing on Fulking escarpment.  In July 2015 the Parish Council invited the National Trust to a meeting to discuss the situation. One of the suggestions was to use the website to exchange information on the cattle.

A new page has been set up to do just that.

If you have any comments or observations to add to the page, please email webmaster@fulking.org (headed “Cattle on the Downs”). The National Trust will also be adding their comments and responses. Read more…
