The Parish Council is undertaking a review of its Neighbourhood Plan. This document contains planning policies, which are used to determine planning applications locally. It can help shape the type and location of future development and can identify infrastructure priorities. This is a huge undertaking which will involve many months’ work for the steering group. There is now a dedicated page on our website which can be found under the “Council” dropdown menu on the website homepage where information can be found.
There will be no refuse, food waste, and recycling collections on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Years Day, meaning there will be some changes to your regular collection schedule.
All collections will be carried out according to your collection calendar. If you need a new one you can download it from www.environmentfirst.co.uk.
Collection calendars for 2025 are also now available, and can be downloaded from www.environmentfirst.co.uk. There is now an option to download reminders directly to your smartphone calendar!

Lewes District Local Plan consultation set for New Year launch
Residents across Lewes district are being encouraged to take part in the latest stage of consultation on Lewes District Council’s Local Plan.
Local plans set out where future development will take place, such as new homes and locations for business growth, as well the local policy requirements against which future planning applications will be judged.
A first phase of consultation that will run from week commencing January 6 to February 28 2025. Phase one of the consultation is on the detailed policies for the plan area and will consider sites within towns and a limited number of villages. The second phase will take place later in 2025 and have a greater emphasis on more rural parts of the district, while also re-evaluating areas considered during phase one.
Residents will be able to choose from a range of different ways to engage with the consultation. This will include an online webinar that will take place early in the New Year and a series of in-person drop-in events that will begin towards the end of January 2025.
Ahead of the consultation, Lewes District Council is running a short survey to find out about local people’s understanding of what a Local Plan is. The council will use what people say through the survey to help shape its future communications about the Local Plan. The survey, which will stay open until 5pm on Tuesday 31 December 2024, also gives respondents the opportunity to join the council’s Local Plan mailing list.
