Message from South Downs National Park Authority
Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Register
Consultation – opportunity to comment on proposed local connection test for the Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Register
The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) is proposing a local connection test (see below) for those wanting to record their interest in building their own home by applying to be included on the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Register (the “Register”).
Consultation on the proposed local connection test is being carried out for eight weeks between Tuesday 11 January 2022 and Tuesday 08 March 2022.
All responses to the consultation must be received before midnight on Tuesday 08 March 2022.
Please let SDNPA know your comments on the proposed local connection test as set out below. Further details about the Register and the local connection test are also set out below. If you have questions regarding this consultation please telephone 01730 814810 and ask to speak to Kevin Wright in the Planning Policy team or email planningpolicy@southdowns.gov.uk
Responses to the consultation must be made in writing and can be sent to the SDNPA in the following ways:
By email to planningpolicy@southdowns.gov.uk
By letter to Planning Policy, SDNPA, South Downs Centre, North Street, Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29 9DH
Proposed Local Connection Test
Any person that meets at least one of the following criteria when applying to be entered on the Self-build and Custom housebuilding register, is considered to have met the Local Connection Test and will be entered into Part 1 of the Register:
a) Have lived (as only home or principal residence) in the National Park (or in a split Parish, part of which is inside the National Park) continuously for at least the last two years; or
b) Have lived (as only home or principal residence) in the National Park (or in a split Parish, part of which is inside the National Park) continuously for three out of the last five years; or
c) Have immediate family* who have lived continuously in the National Park (or lived in a split Parish, part of which is inside the National Park) for at least the previous five years; or
d) Have been employed in the National Park for a minimum of 16 hours per week continuously for the last two years; or
e) You are a member of the armed forces, or an ex-member of the armed forces whose service ended within the last 5 years.
* Immediate family is defined as parents, adult siblings and adult children.
Further details
The SDNPA is required by law to keep a Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Register. The Register provides evidence of demand for self-build and custom housebuilding within the National Park. Anyone seeking land to build their own home can apply to be on the Register providing they are at least 18 years of age and they are a British citizen, or a national of a European Economic Area State or a national of Switzerland. The criteria can also include a local connection test.
The effect of the local connection test is to separate the Register into Part 1 and Part 2.
Those applicants entered on Part 1 of the Register will meet the eligibility criteria and the local connection test. SDNPA has a duty to permit sufficient plots to meet the demand evidenced by the entries on Part 1 of the Register.
Those on Part 2 will meet the eligibility criteria only.
The entries on Part 1 and 2 of the Register will be taken into account by SDNPA when making planning decisions in the National Park.
Those on Part 2 of the Register can still build their own home in the National Park.
Being on Part 1 of the Register provides no entitlement to receive any plot permitted by the SDNPA.
Further information on the Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Register can be found at https://www.southdowns.gov.uk/planning-policy/self-build-custom-build/

HASSOCKS PARISH COUNCIL
Minutes of the informal meeting of the PLANNING COMMITTEE held remotely on Tuesday 15 February 2022 at 7.30pm
Attendees: Parish Councillors: Kristian Berggreen (Chair), Bob Brewer, Sue Hatton (substitute for Cllr Bill Hatton), Nick Owens and Claire Tester.
In Attendance: Deputy Clerk: Tracy Forte; 2 members of the public.
P21/146 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE. Cllrs Carolyn Barton, Leslie Campbell and Bill Hatton
P21/147 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST. Cllr Bob Brewer declared a personal interest in DM/21/2628 Land To The Rear Of Friars Oak London Road Hassocks West Sussex.
P21/148 MINUTES. To note Minutes of the Meeting held on 24 January 2022 (previously circulated), for approval at the next Committee meeting. These were noted by the Committee.
P21/149 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. Mr Steve Sexton raised the following points about Planning Application DM/21/2628 Land To The Rear Of Friars Oak London Road Hassocks West Sussex.
1. Mid Sussex District Council has allowed 21 days for the review of the Additional Biodiversity Report and Energy Strategy Report, however the updated Energy Report was not uploaded onto the MSDC website until last week. therefore residents will not have had a full 21 days to review this document by the closing date for submissions.
2. Mr Sexton referred to the developer reports being biased and therefore hoped that when this application was considered by the MSDC Planning Committee, Hassocks District and Parish Councillor Representatives would attend to query the bias in the reports.
P21/150 The Chair proposed considering application DM/21/2628 Land To The Rear Of Friars Oak, London Road first. This was agreed by the Committee.
P21/151 APPLICATIONS
DM/21/2628 Land To The Rear Of Friars Oak London Road Hassocks West Sussex Reserved Matters Application for the approval of appearance, landscaping, layout and scale at land r/o Friars Oak pursuant to Outline Planning Permission DM/19/1897, comprising of a residential development of 130 dwellings and associated access together with change of use of part of the land to country open space, following the provision of a new pedestrian tunnel under the railway. (Additional Biodiversity Report and Energy Strategy Report received 31 January and 1 February.)
The Committee discussed this application in detail and noted that a number of reports have only recently been uploaded to the MSDC website. The Committee welcomed the Planning Officer’s correspondence with the developer, Rydons, in support of Hassocks Neighbourhood Plan, Policy 5 and noted that the developer has indicated a willingness to build to the Part L 2021 Building Regulations which will come into effect later this year. Therefore it was agreed that the Parish should request that MSDC requires this to be a commitment from the developer for every building on this site.
It was also noted that, although it appeared that the Biodiversity Net Gain calculation had been carried out according to guidance, the Defra Metric used only considers plant diversity. The two fields to be developed are therefore categorised as ‘poor semi improved grassland’ – the lowest possible score – even though the lack of management over the last decade means that it is brimming with wildlife. Therefore the calculations that there will be a 14.25% net gain in area habitat units across the site does not reflect the overall impact of this development on biodiversity.
Cllr Bob Brewer drew the Committee’s attention to an email which had been uploaded as a document for this application onto the MSDC planning portal. The email was dated 7 January 2022 and had been sent on behalf of Rydon’s to the Planning Officer, responding to the previous points raised by HPC. However HPC had not been included in this correspondence, nor had the Council been subsequently made aware of it. Therefore the Committee agreed that in order to submit an informed and relevant response to this application, more time was required to consider the additional documentation in detail. The preference was to consider this application again at the next scheduled Planning Meeting due to be held on 7 March 2022 and the Deputy Clerk would contact the Planning Officer to request an extension on the submission date from the Council. If the full extension was not granted, the Committee would then be required to agree a response prior to the next meeting, having reviewed the necessary documentation.
Mr and Mrs Sexton left the meeting.
DM/22/0163 10 Chancellors Park Hassocks West Sussex BN6 8EZ Proposed first floor side extension, ground floor side extension and removal of part of dwarf wall to improve vehicular access to drive. Response: RECOMMEND APPROVAL. The applicant is advised that Government has committed to adopt a ‘Future Buildings Standard’ during 2021 which will change the Building Regulations requirements for alterations and extensions to homes to bring these alterations closer to that of a ‘zero energy building’. This is supported by Policy 5 ‘Enabling Zero Carbon’ of the Hassocks Neighbourhood Plan which states that proposals that modify existing buildings (including extensions) should seek to maximise the inclusion of energy-saving measures and renewable energy generation. Energy saving measures include floor, roof and wall insulation, and low u-value windows (which may need to be triple glazed). These requirements may require amendments to your design which could affect the drawings submitted for planning permission. The applicant may wish to note that alterations that are built to a Nearly Zero Energy standard, are unlikely to need further retrofitting to minimise the carbon emissions that the nation is required to reduce to zero by 2050. As retrofitting an existing home to be highly energy efficient is more complex than doing so for a new building, applicants may wish to look at the ‘EnerPHit’ standard that the Government is understood to be considering as the applicable “Nearly Zero Energy’ standard in this context, or at the Architypes published by the London Energy Transformation Initiative for u-values for your extension walls, windows etc. and for ventilation and overheating prevention standards to be achieved.
DM/21/4222 35 Ockenden Way Hassocks West Sussex BN6 8HS Variation of conditions 5 and 3 relating to DM/21/3344 to allow for the change of external materials. Response: RECOMMEND APPROVAL
DM/22/0215 8 Bonny Wood Road Hassocks West Sussex BN6 8HR Proposed dormers, rear & side extensions. Response: RECOMMEND APPROVAL subject to the wood burner flue being complaint with installation and internal air quality regulations. The applicant is advised that Government has committed to adopt a ‘Future Buildings Standard’ during 2021 which will change the Building Regulations requirements for alterations and extensions to homes to bring these alterations closer to that of a ‘zero energy building’. This is supported by Policy 5 ‘Enabling Zero Carbon’ of the Hassocks Neighbourhood Plan which states that proposals that modify existing buildings (including extensions) should seek to maximise the inclusion of energy-saving measures and renewable energy generation. Energy saving measures include floor, roof and wall insulation, and low u-value windows (which may need to be triple glazed).

DM/21/3330 Hammonds Mill Farm London Road Hassocks West Sussex BN6 9NB Proposed conversion of 3 agricultural barn buildings into 4 residential dwellings. (Amended Plans received 26.01.2022 showing revised design details.). Response: RECOMMEND REFUSAL. The previous comments submitted by Parish Council remain unchanged. The referenced agricultural buildings are considered to be in a very poor condition and beyond repair, almost certainly requiring a complete rebuild. It is therefore the belief of the Parish Council that the proposed application falls outside the scope of Class Q which relates to the ‘conversion’ of existing buildings; these buildings will not be conversions they will be new builds. Furthermore, despite amendments, the proposed design of the ‘conversions’ remain wholly unattractive and out of keeping with the area and is therefore contrary to Character and Design, Policy 9, of the Hassocks Neighbourhood Plan and Policy DP26 of the District Plan.
DM/22/0155 8 Park Avenue Hassocks West Sussex BN6 8LT Proposed pitched roof single storey rear extension, hip to part gable side roof alterations and pitched roof front porch. Response: RECOMMEND APPROVAL. The applicant is advised that Government has committed to adopt a ‘Future Buildings Standard’ during 2021 which will change the Building Regulations requirements for alterations and extensions to homes to bring these alterations closer to that of a ‘zero energy building’. This is supported by Policy 5 ‘Enabling Zero Carbon’ of the Hassocks Neighbourhood Plan which states that proposals that modify existing buildings (including extensions) should seek to maximise the inclusion of energy-saving measures and renewable energy generation.

DM/22/0297 Weald House Cottage Ockley Lane Hassocks Burgess Hill West Sussex RH15 0BH Proposed extension and new front porch together with internal alterations and all associated drainage works. Response: RECOMMEND APPROVAL. The applicant is advised that Government has committed to adopt a ‘Future Buildings Standard’ during 2021 which will change the Building Regulations requirements for alterations and extensions to homes to bring these alterations closer to that of a ‘zero energy building’.

DM/22/0343 1 Hurst Road Hassocks West Sussex BN6 9NJ Roof conversion with rear dormer, side gables and front rooflights. Response: RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
