Female led modern funeral directors five star reviews.

Dear Readers, We hope you managed to cope with last month’s heatwave? It was very hot and we aren’t generally used to it, but it seems pretty ironic that the media whipped up a frenzy with their Armageddon coverage, whilst millions of Brits jetted off to even warmer climes and nobody even mentioned climate change! The lovely weather in July was just one factor contributing to the success of the comeback of the Horam Fun Show after it’s absence for 2 years because of the pandemic. This was in addition to the months of hard work by the organisers, the fabulous local companies sponsoring the event, the army of volunteers and our local community. See pages P14-15 for full coverage. The appeal decision for the land adjacent to Old Orchard House has not yet been made at time of going to print, but there is now another application in for the land next to Rosemead - see this month’s development update on P41-42 for more details. The Neighbourhood Plan is coming together well and now Horam Parish Council are looking for some Local Street Champions to represent their street or estate or area to help feed residents views, needs and wants into the plan, see Horam Parish Council update on P24 for more details. Remember that having a Neighbourhood Plan allows residents to shape how local development looks. On that topic, Wealden have delayed delivery of their Local Plan. They were due to consult on a Draft Local Plan in Spring 2022. However, they state that there is currently too much uncertainty in relation to plan-making to go out to consultation at this current time. This includes matters around Wealden’s housing number allocation and their continued lobbying to central Government by Wealden District Councillors and Parish and Town Councillors on housing numbers. It has also recently been announced that a National Planning Policy ‘prospectus’, is due to be published in the near future, which will set out the direction for changes to national policy. They want to wait till these factors are confirmed, so will advise of a new deadline for first draft of the plan. This does however still leave us still wide open to speculative approaches by developers as Planning at Wealden have had to continue to use old policies and out of date housing numbers to determine applications. We hope you enjoy the rest of the summer holidays and will see you in September!

Supporting Local Families. Over the past two years local ladies Dawn Bew & Lucy Atabey have supported many local families after they have lost loved ones. White Feather Funerals is the only local, female led, independent funeral director in Heathfield and many families come to them - because they are ladies. They work with families to create unique and personal send offs - from Harry Potter themed funerals, garden funerals to live performances and art installations, high street processions with bonfire societies and fireworks, unusual hearses and beautiful horses. Their compassion and attention to detail help to make a difficult time, just a tiny bit easier.

Proud to have 21 verified 5

reviews.

Very passionate and nothing was too much to help me arrange. Dawn and Lucy are wonderful and showed so much empathy throughout. Mark the celebrant was amazing and listened to everything I advised to incorporate into the service Thank you so much you guys the support you gave me was excellent through this very difficult time.

White Feather FUNERALS

Your Menopause Event - 3rd September I decided to put on a menopause information event because I had struggled during my peri-menopause, and know many friends and clients that have suffered with their menopause in the past with the lack of information and guidance available for them. I asked my friend Jackie, a community engagement professional and event coordinator to help me. She too struggled during her peri and post-menopause. It's great to see that the Government has this week produced a Strategy for Women's Health, based on a consultation with 100,000 women. The Strategy includes menopause, and it makes recommendation for a national reconditioning program to encourage 60+ to build up muscle strength and movement, which is of particular interest to me as a Pilates instructor. https://thebms.org.uk/2022/07/dhsc-announces-first-womens-health-strategyfor-england-to-tackle-gender-health-gap/ However, Jackie and I felt that we wanted to support women locally, and right now. We want to signpost women to get the information they need today. Our event is called 'Your Menopause' and will be a fun and informative day for peri, present and post-menopausal women. We are privileged to have some incredible female GPs and other health and wellbeing professionals speaking on Saturday 3 September. Topics include, medical menopause, sleep, exercise and movement, pelvic health, mental health, sex and more. There will be delicious food; a bookstall; merchandise and information table, plus a presentation and short films by Women Over 50 Film Festival plus live music. We have all the ingredients for an illuminating and lively event. If you are peri-menopausal, download the Menopause Charity Symptom Questionnaire and check your symptoms. You can take this list to your GP and ask for help should you need it. If you don’t have a GP that understands the menopause, request to see one within the practice that does. We look forward to welcoming you to this wonderful event at Westgate Chapel, High Street, Lewes - 10am - 6.30pm. Tickets are selling quickly, we have some early bird tickets available until 31 July at £30/full price £40.

Horam Fun Day comes back with a bang! Having been railroaded by the pandemic the previous two years, the organisers of the Fun Day were hoping that the day would be the best yet! It proved to be a great day this year with amazing weather and a fantastic turn out. Hot Dogs! As well as those available on the BBQ, there were certainly a lot of hot dogs at this years show. Temperatures were a little challenging for our furry family members, but those there seemed to keep cool in the tents and had lots of drinking water bowls around for them, even a paddling pool at the dog show for them to cool their feet! The show organisers would like to thank the main sponsors this year: Horam Parish Council*Samuel & sons Charted Surveyors* Green Tones Eco-friendly homeware * Horam Co-op *Horam Manor Country Park* Downwood Veterinary Centre * Gloss Dog Grooming * The Pet Shop Heathfield* Waunchope & Wright Ltd. Electrical *Sussex County Garage Doors. Volunteers are too many to name without missing someone out so we have compromised with the paragraph below. Thanks to the team for organising the Horam Fun Day 2022, especially to Dave Sutton for co-ordinating it. Also a BIG thank you to all who helped setting up Saturday and clearing down on Sunday, And to all those many more volunteers, who helped in so many ways during the afternoon. The Fun Day is a great example of our local community pulling together!. An update on funds raised for charity will be published in next month’s issue.

House fire in Grange Close The high temperatures last month led to fire services being called upon across the South East, including Horam! On Wednesday 20th July a fire at 23 Grange Close took hold. Neighbours had to evacuate with their dogs whilst the fire crew dealt with the blaze. Luckily no-one was hurt. The cause of the blaze is not known at the time of going to print but is thought to have possibly been the ignition of a Leylandii hedge in the extreme heat. Next door neighbour Natalie Turner said “We would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped us today when next door (Grange Close) was on fire….the couple who took in our dogs, neighbours who helped get us and the cars moved, everyone with their hoses until the fire brigade arrived…. We are all so grateful and a big thank you to the cute little boy who bought us round some chocolates afterwards for the shock”. Good to see the community pulling together when needed!

HORAM PARISH COUNCIL – August 2022 www.horam.com & www.facebook.com/horamvillage The Parish Council were pleased to sponsor the Fun Day again this year. The first for two years and a special thank you to Dave Sutton and his team of helpers for planning a successful day. The weather was perfect, some may say a little too hot. STREET CHAMPIONS A successful Neighbourhood Plan needs consultation with and feedback from Residents. Initially, in the form of questionnaires, but finally through an official Local Referendum. The Horam Parish Neighbourhood Plan will need two more rounds of consultation/feedback (Autumn 2022 and Spring 2023) before the Local Referendum which we are aiming to be in mid-2023. The Steering Group (Nine residents and 3 Parish Councillors) are looking for volunteers who would be willing to deliver future Questionnaires and collect the completed forms and subsequently to deliver information and reminders relating to the Neighbourhood Plan Local Referendum. Could you be a Street Champion for the street you live in? If you are willing to volunteer as a Street Champion, could you please speak to a Parish Councillor, email the Parish Clerk (clerk@horam.com) or call in to The Horam Centre in Horam High Street. OUR HORAM PCSO – EMAIL ADDRESS If you wish to bring anything to the attention of our PCSO (Police Community Support Officer) for Horam (Cathy Gilling) please email catherine.gilling@sussex.police.uk. There is a dedicated email address (roads.communications@sussex.police. uk) for reporting instances of speeding. However, for emergencies contact the Police by phoning 999. PARISH CLERK - can be contacted either by e-mail: clerk@horam.com or 07900 576236. THANK YOU A special ‘thank you’ must go to Skip in Vines Cross who has painstakingly re-painted the old phone box (now the village Book Exchange). It looks as good as new and he managed to complete it in time for the Vines Cross Jubilee Street Party. Thank you, Skip!

August Gardening Diary " If the 24th of August be fair and clear, then hope for a prosperous autumn that year." With reference to the above; heaven knows why but it was a piece of country lore. The brilliant tints of summer tend to give way later in the month to the richer, though softer, golds and bronzes of autumn, highlighted with vivid colour from phloxes, gladioli, and hollyhocks. By removing spent flowers before seed pods have a chance to form, summer flowering subjects may be induced to keep blooming for a greatly extended period, and if we nurse forlorn hopes of getting aboard an aircraft this summer, we may take this a step further by removing all flowers and buds on summer bedding to ensure they will not spend themselves in seed production before our return. The temporary relief thus afforded the plants will be reflected in a gay display on our return. We must not relax warfare against insect pests and diseases. Fungoid diseases can be troublesome at this season and as soon as noted due measures should be taken. Watch especially roses for black spot, rust and mildew, although once tarnished, leaves may not be to be improved by application of sprays, the disease will be handicapped in its progress by prompt treatment now. If the fungus is prevented from maturing spores, this will reduce the risk of more serious attacks next year. In light of numerous forecastings of universal starvation and doom we may suppose all the gardens of Britain have been put over to vegetable production. To maximise yields we should be feeding runner and French beans and also tomatoes, likewise Brussels sprouts and winter greens. It is well to pinch out the growing points on outdoor tomatoes as soon as three trusses of fruit have set, to hasten ripening, later trusses are unlikely to mature. During dry spells the flowers of runner beans will often wither without setting; a fine spray of water over the whole plant often helps to encourage a good set of beans. As crops are harvested the ground may be hastily filled again with sowings of lettuce and spinach or planted up with cabbages and other winter greens. The maincrop potatoes can be lifted from this month onwards. We should now be turning our attention to hedge clipping. Some, such as the privet need trimming numerous times throughout the season, but for the majority one or twice a year is sufficient. This should be done no later than August to give the shrubs a chance to harden the new growth before the onset of winter. The large-leaved evergreens, such as Laurel, should be trimmed with secateurs, not hedgecutters as these will leave ragged brown - edged leaves. Always cut your hedge narrower at the top than the bottom. When dealing with young hedges, especially those of beech, hornbeam, leylandii and thuja, it is advisable to allow them to reach the required height before taking out the tops. In the meantime just trim the ends of the branches to encourage them to thicken up.

THE FIGHT AGAINST OVERDEVELOPMENT OF HORAM CONTINUES OLD ORCHARD HOUSE APPEAL Old Orchard House is directly opposite Rosemead on Horebeech Lane. An appeal brought by the developer in 2020 resulted in the Inspector’s judgment against it, citing the site as inappropriate, unsustainable, and outside of the development boundary. However earlier this year the developer put another application in for 58 houses with slight amendments. This application was unanimously refused by Wealden’s Planning Committee South much to the relief of neighbouring and local residents. Following this the developer Chailey Homes & their agent Parker Dann (remember them – they declared local people against Rosemead as NIMBY’s on Twitter) lodged another appeal against Wealden for the refusal. They came back with less houses – 38, some different landscaping but as far as we can tell, no smaller number of bedrooms/residents/cars. On Tuesday 12th July the appeal hearing took place at Hellingly Community Hub with representatives from Horam Parish Council, local Horam, Heathfield & Wealden councillors, the Inspector and representatives of Wealden’s Planning department and local residents. I attended as representative from the Diary.

Those against the development (which was the majority) felt that: •

IT WAS STILL A CAR DEPENDENT SITE A third of dwellings had been cut from the plan BUT replaced with larger executive homes, resulting in no reduction of the number of residents and therefore no reduction in the number of cars on this estate.

•

CONSIDERABLE LANDSCAPE IMPACT There has been some additional landscaping to the revised plans to provide a broad landscape belt adjacent to existing properties - which were the concerns of the previous Inspector. However, this does not negate the landscape impact as hedging is still being ripped out, bigger properties positioned at the rear of the site resulting in considerable landscape impact from the Cuckoo Trail. The changes the developer has made should be acknowledged, but dismissed as not they are not determinative, given the overall loss of the greenfield setting.

•

LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE Parker Dann argue that Horam is a sustainable settlement, but the previous inspector noted that the level of services and employment were limited. Locals know that there is no local school and that the distance to the oversubscribed school at Maynard Greens, is too far to walk for young children from this estate - making it wholly car dependent. The local dentist is only able to take on private patients and the Dr surgery only has limited capacity.

•

ACCESS the access was an issue previously for the Inspector and this seems unchanged on this latest plan, however the agent advised some alterations had been made latterly to the access

The agent argued on behalf of the developer that: •

They were only trying to meet the housing need (currently based on numbers from 2014 which are currently being reviewed) and they were helping young adults get out of parents’ homes and into their own. One resident stated that based on the average cost of the houses on this site, that these young adults would need an approximate £17k deposit and be earning circa £80k to be able to get a mortgage at Old Orchard.

•

Development was going to happen anyway, and we would have to get used to looking at new housing estates from the Cuckoo Trail.

•

A councilor brought the issues caused by run off from the Rosemead site onto the Old Orchard

site to the Inspector’s attention, and they advised that they had made provision for sewage and ground water on this application. I pointed out that the Rosemead system had been designed under Parker Dann’s helm an that this doesn’t fill anyone with confidence. the Rosemead system and that this doesn’t fill anyone with confidence. In the last few years over 323 new dwellings have been built/are being built out in Horam – with a population of 2,028 that is a significant number of additional people and approx. 6-700 additional cars in the village. The air pollution monitors in the village show daily significant spikes over and above the recommended levels and adding more dwellings will only make this worse. Parker Dann downplay the fundamental concern of the previous Inspector of the impact on character and setting - which have not changed. They are right on the overall balance of considerations in the previous decision, and they have made some reasonable concessions this time. Even so, the extent of growth already built and permitted in Horam means that Horam is already playing its part in meeting housing needs. It may well be that there is affordable housing (AH) proposed on some sites not yet built, that will meet the local need for AH and therefore this site is not required.

CONCLUSION The reasons for refusal are still valid, this site even with the concessions made, is still as previously described ‘unsustainable & inappropriate, and outside of the village boundary’ and would result in substantial change to the landscape setting. It is not fair to compare permissions given to outside development boundaries in places like Crowborough, who have a train station and better public transport network than Horam. Using Rosemead being built opposite to this site as leverage to the argument that Old Orchard House should also be developed is not valid. Horam has already provided a fair chunk of new housing through existing permissions and this site is outside of the development boundary. At the time of going to press, the Inspector had not yet published his decision. Those who attended the meeting (many thanks to residents for taking the time to come) felt that it could go either way, but maybe not being not too many dwellings and therefore not a great contribution to the 5 year land supply. We believe that the residents won the sustainability & accessibility argument… but it remains to be seen. See next month’s issue for an update.

NEW HOUSING ESTATE APPLICATION WITH ACCESS VIA ROSEMEAD Even though the appeal result is not know for Old Orchard House, the landowner of the paddock, house and garden at Cauldavon that abuts Rosemead has submitted another planning application which features comments on the application from the agent stating ‘a positive response from Wealden Planning Dept’. In 2020 an application for 60 dwellings was submitted and withdrawn by the applicant in Sept 2020. Another revised application for 60 dwellings was refused by Wealden in July 2021. This application has cut dwellings to 46 from 60, but despite this the same principles apply as mentioned for Old Orchard House – more cars, more sewage and water to an already overwhelmed system and the residents of Rosemead continuing to have more lorries, machinery and residents for the new estate coming through theirs. If you wish to object to this latest application reference number WD/2022/1694/MAO BY 19th AUGUST 2022: - Email planning@wealden.gov.uk using the ref, stating your name and full address or visit https://planning.wealden.gov.uk/ to submit on line or write to them at Council Offices, Vicarage Lane, Hailsham, East Sussex, BN27 2AX.
