Save Newick Forum

On 11th October 2011 the Cabinet of East Sussex County Council agreed to withdraw their plans for a landraise waste facility next to Newick. Having reached a successful outcome we have subsequently discontinued the hosting of the Save Newick Forum although archive documents are available here for reference, and our Facebook group is still active if you wish to comment on any issues.

Email received on Tuesday 15th June 2010...

Sent on behalf of Tony Cook, Head of Planning, Transport & Environment, East Sussex County Council and Rob Fraser, Head of Planning Strategy, Development, Planning & Public Protection, Brighton & Hove City Council

Thank you for your comments on East Sussex County Council’s and Brighton & Hove City Council’s Preferred Strategy for how waste will be managed and minerals produced in East Sussex and Brighton & Hove.

The councils have received numerous letters from organisations and residents who were upset at the way the consultation was handled. We are sorry that some people were dissatisfied with our communications about the consultation and that some people found the documents difficult to understand. We will learn from these comments and improve the way we carry out consultations in the future.

The consultation closed in January and we are analysing nearly 3,000 responses and eight petitions that we received. We would like to assure you that we are looking again at the need for the land disposal of waste and all the practical alternatives to this that could be achieved in the county and the surrounding area. It will take some time for us to do this, but in the meantime we expect to publish our initial response in the late summer. Everyone who responded to the consultation will be notified when it is published, and it will be on our website and available to view in libraries and council offices.

Before then we thought it would be helpful to send you the enclosed factsheet which sets out the problem of managing the waste in East Sussex and Brighton & Hove and answers some of the questions we have been asked. If you live within or near the potential areas of search for landraise and landfill that were identified in the strategy you may receive another copy of the factsheet.

I hope this email and the accompanying information are helpful.

Regards

Tony Cook and Rob Fraser
