Dear Mr Ashcroft,
ASHURST WOOD VILLAGE PLAN 2016 & Planning Applications

I am writing you – in your capacity as the Independent Examiner of the Ashurst Wood
Neighbourhood Plan (AWNP) - to intervene in a problem that is heading towards a Judicial
Review, action for Misfeasance in Public Office, Human Rights violations and other litigation.
All can be avoided by common sense and fairness: if people would only listen.
I provide:

• PART A: Introduction and background

• PART B: Policies etc
• PART B: A brief chronology

• PART C:Application Pr

• PART D:
A copy of your report is at Attachment 1 and Attachment 2

I have made detailed submissions - evidencing serious process breaches - to Ashurst Wood
Village Council (AWVC) and Mid Sussex District Council (MSDC). I am not – by any stretch - a
planning expert, but “You don’t need to be a weather man to know which way the wind
blows”. Neither is it necessary to be a town planner to know that MSDC-AWVC relationship
is a dog’s dinner. In fact, it’s a national disgrace and an example of bureaucracy gone mad.
I will not trouble you with anything that is not directly relevant to the current problem. I
apologise for the length of this letter, but the devil is in the detail.

A QUALIFICATIONS
Clear from the outset that not criticising AVC.. in fact the work of its councillors and planners
exceptionalo Unquestionaby has the interests of the village heart--- volunteers--- best they
can…
