In line with Government advice during the coronavirus outbreak, the Parish Council office will be closed until further notice.  Anyone wishing to contact the Council should email the Clerk at clerk@wivelsfield.org.uk, copied to the Chair, cllrdawson@wivelsfield.org.uk  or call the office number (01444 471898) and leave a message (as messages can be retrieved remotely).

It is not yet known what arrangements will be put in place for carrying out Council business in the absence of being able to hold meetings face to face.  It is anticipated that the Government will push through legislation to allow for business to be conducted by alternative means, but, until the details of this are known, planned Council meetings are likely to be postponed.

Updates will be posted on the website.

 

In light of the coronavirus situation, the Community Clean Up Event which was scheduled for Saturday 28 March has been postponed until Saturday 19th September, in line with the newly published dates by Keep Britain Tidy for the renamed ‘Great British September Clean’.  Thank you to anyone who was planning to support this event and we hope to see you later in the year.

The Parish Council has been advised that a number of new Shared Ownership Homes are now available in the Parish, with initial priority being given to people from Wivelsfield.  Please see the press release from Raven Homes below:

Raven Homes have now released their beautiful collection of shared ownership homes at Rosery Place, just off Valebridge Road in Burgess Hill, comprising sixteen 1 bedroom flats and 2 & 3 bedroom houses. All are finished to a very high standard and offer spacious and well planned layouts. 35% initial shares are available to buy from just £70,000 and rent is payable on the remaining share you don’t own. Priority will initially be given to those people who are registered with Help to Buy and live or work in the Wivelsfield Parish but will then be opened up to buyers who can demonstrate a connection to the Lewes District. For more information call the Raven Homes Sales Team on 0300 303 3835 or email sales@ravenhomes.co.uk.

The Planning Policy Team at Lewes District Council is pleased to advise that the Inspector has now considered all written and verbal representations made during the Examination in Public of the Lewes Local Plan Part 2 and recommended that the Council publish a Schedule of Main Modifications for public consultation.

Local Plan Part 2 only applies to the area of the district outside the South Downs National Park.

We are therefore inviting comments on the Schedule and accompanying Addendum to the Sustainability Appraisal which assesses the proposed modifications.   This is a focussed consultation on the Main Modifications put forward by the Inspector; comments should therefore concentrate on these points.   Comments are invited over a 6 week period from 8 July to midnight on 19 August 2019.

The easiest way to submit comments is via our website, where you can comment on each Main Modification separately.   The two consultation documents can also be found and downloaded on the same webpage:
