THE TRUST WERE OUT CLEARING PATHWAYS
17th November 2014


The Trust members including the Chairman were out clearing one of the lower paths-ways which had a tree fallen across it . The  Pathway is now accessible but the tree will take some time to clear.

News on BVI Hollyberry Holdings Limited

NEWS ON BVI HOLLYBERRY HOLDINGS LIMITED
13th November 2014.

Today the Trust received an email from an Investigative journalist   in respect the British Virgin  Islands Company  that allegedly owns part of Speckled Wood, Hastings.  The document that has been returned has no directors listed on it and was registered by another organization Overseas Management co. Trust(BVI) Ltd.  This is highly irregular as the directors seem to be buried in a further organization. The date for this organization creation is detailed as 26th October 2008.

Seven Statements Served on Councils 2014 Plan

SEVEN STATEMENTS SERVED ON COUNCILS 2014 PLAN
12 November 2014
Seven Statements have been served to-date on the Council and Inspectors office in relations to the Unlawful Revised Submission Development Plan . Six of these statements have not currently been accepted by the Program Officer and Council with them finding a multitude of reasons not to accept them. The Statements all  are with the format specified in the Guidance Notes  Paragraph 7 . The Public Examination process has not accepted this and a further statement has been served "Statement seven".

Statement Seven;This statement includes all correspondence with the Program Officer up until 8th November 2014 when conversation broke down.

The Statement wording paragraph 7, "We appear to have lost our opportunity to submit the supplementary statements and present our case to the Inspector. Local Plans are a forum where local residents can present their views on the future of their town. The above situation indicates that we have been denied this due process and this is does not represent the ethos of these consultations. It is my contention that the Local Plan is unsound and flawed. We have been denied our legal right to make comment on this Local Plan."

Discussions break down with Planning Officer

DISCUSSIONS BREAK DOWN WITH PLANNING OFFICE
10th Nov 2014
Discussions have broken down again between the Program Officer and the Trust and Registered Charity. The Trust wrote to the Program Officer this morning by email and by Registered Post following what seems to be denial of their Statements being provided to the Inspectorate  on very questionable basis. These Local Plans are to enable residents to speak up and put thier point of view forward for the towns where they live . The deadlines for submissions have been very slim and the Chairman spoke to the Program Officer today to tell her that they had been working to try to redact their submission evidence in PDF over the Weekend. The conversation broke down when conversations turned to the Councils website and its submission of the plan containing links to personal information and  addition that the Planning Site carried personal signatures of applicants. The Chairman went on to say the public where disenfranchised by the process the conversation broke down with the Program officer telling the Chairman he was a very stupid man.

The Chairman has discussed the situation with the committee members and it was suggested to write to Program Officer to ask if there is someone else they can talk to as the three three letters have been unanswered and communications are at breaking point.

Discussions with the Program Officer Continue

DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PROGRAM OFFICER CONTINUE
8th November 2014
The situation with the Trusts and Charity's statements which have been sent to Mrs Lynnette Duncan the Program Officer, has been discussed at length this week. The Trust has tried to work with the Program Officer to enable their statements to be seen by the Inspector the problem hinges around Important material not being in the Guidance Notes ID1 which would allow the Trust members to submit a statement that was acceptable. The Trust is writing to the Program Officer and other officials on Monday to make their position clear. The Trust hopes this will make things clear.

Justice is Dead

JUSTICE IS DEAD
04th November 2014



FLAWED REVISED SUBMISSION DEVELOPMENT PLAN (LOCAL PLAN) IGNORED.
We have served legal documents on the Inspector and the Council and Program Officer today by email . In regard the flawed Revised Submission Development Management Plan (Local Plan). These we told during the PH that we needed to inform the Inspector of the situation.

We was told yesterday that the statement would have to be redacted as the Council wanted to put them on their own Council website. We was told by the Program Officer that we had to do this redaction .

This is ridiculous as they have the documents and they are the people wanting them redacted. We were told today our response has been rejected. We served this Response as Praecipe which is a legal document that has to be answered.  This will be served on the Council in writing in the next few days. 

We were told this afternoon by the Program Officer that she had deleted the Response ! 

We wrote advising the Program Officer that This was a legal document and she should be very careful as by deleting this document and not replying she automatically accepted it unchallenged. This means the statement stands and the Revised Submission Development Plan is Flawed and unsafe. This is the rubbish which we are dealing with!

An email has been sent out asking the Planning Officer to show us were in the Guidance notes it shows that responses or statements which is used freely should be sent in redacted as it doesn't state this.
