Cllr. PHILIP LUNN
|
|||||
|
NEW BOY IN TOWN 2016 - Fresh to the fray and some unfinished business to attend to sadly, he matter of correct data recording and setting the record straight.
When voted onto this Council, as a lawyer Councillor Philip Lunn may notice that although there was a material consideration that was markedly different from a previous application, that his Council refused to determine an application that could have settled one of the longest running and costliest that Wealden have fought to date. Granted, this was before he was elected.
This was all because Ken Wilson decided to side with more influential neighbours in Lime Park, instructing the George White and Thomas Hoy duo to do their best to devalue the old generating buildings by denying what they were/are - in the hope that the occupier would sell out to Lime Park Estate Ltd. At least, that is how it looks to us on reading of the evidence. Inspector Raymond Dannreuther was misled in 1987 and Inspector Raymond Michael was deceived in 1997 by the Doug Moss and Chezel Bird duo.
As far as we know, lying on oath at a public inquiry is best described as perjury and is a criminal offence. Committing such acts of dishonesty in an attempt to pervert the course of justice should disqualify an officer from working for a council - except that in Wealden land it appears that skill at lying on oath (or a willingness to lie), or just when advising councillors, is perceived as a necessary qualification for employment. Such team playing is almost sure to qualify officers for an enhanced pension package. Why? because that would be the deal for not blowing the whistle once they are out of the game. That is the price to buy their silence. But, surely such antics raises local taxes to pay for services that the rate payer is not aware they are buying?

Dear Councillor Lunn,
As a relatively new Conservative member of a council responsible for a great many historic towns and villages, and also caretaker of the public purse, could we ask you to be especially vigilant against maladministration within the Wealden District Council.
Maladministration is where a local authority fails to carry out the function that it was created to perform or simply makes a mistake. The reason we mention this is because of the appalling history of planning enforcement appeals that were forced on certain members of the public - in the past this ruse was to boost your re-charge budget - that should never have been sanctioned in the first place. That was the reason for the creation of this website and formation of the Wealden Action Group.
Obviously, we want to do our best to keep your council on the straight and narrow for the benefit of other tax payers who do not want to see their hard earned money wasted on officer led feuds - and the way to do this is to monitor your progress and where applicable, lobby members, MPs and the media, pointing out potential pitfalls, so helping your council to avoid administrative errors. We thus contribute to council efficiency all over the land, where the internet serves as a wonderful reference to us all.
In our view one of the most important functions that a council is charged with, is to provide a rolling stock of land for affordable housing. The fact that most councils are not doing so, including your own, is a major problem that is effectively making our next generations financial slaves. The UK has an unenviable history of human rights abuses, beginning with the invention of concentration camps.
While (empire) building mansions might make a lot of bankers and landlords very happy in and around Crowborough; it is fair? We were under the impression that Britain was aiming to be at below 1990 carbon levels by 2050. That goal relies on sustainable practices and sustainability equals affordability. Huge profits for some and slavery for others does not a Circular Economy make.
Building expensive homes, where we cannot house low wage earners, is economic lunacy and un-sustainable. This is elitist politics, rather than an equal opportunities bedrock - that should prevail in the interests of democracy. The new goal is a Circular Economy.
These are particularly difficult times, where public funding is under scrutiny against overspending, but such international issues as global warming should still be targeted for attention. We would then expect grants of planning permission for houses that are both affordable and zero carbon - to reduce global warming - and that means smaller houses with a proportionally smaller carbon footprint.
A workable formula for such housing is clear. Sweden and Germany lead with flatpack and other low energy housing - that is affordable, being in the £25-70,000 range. Young families could afford to buy such houses, provided that councils earmark land for affordable development.
What we don't want is agricultural land suddenly going from £5,000 an acre to £1,000,000 - simply because a council failed to identify land for affordable housing. The moment land is allowed to escalate in value, houses are no longer affordable.
Could we suggest that land that is identified as suitable (necessary) for affordable housing, should only be granted consent for genuinely affordable homes. That might put a stop to the Klondike planning stampede that has opened up as a result of council sloth.
Once land is earmarked for affordable developments, Community Land Trusts could build houses for letting at sensible rents - but once again, they need land that is identified as being for affordable housing.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message and we look forward to seeing many sustainable decisions in the future and perhaps hearing your views on such proposals, when you have a spare moment.
Yours sincerely

Cllr Philip Lunn said:
" I am delighted to have been elected, and grateful that people showed their trust by voting for me. Whereas I have much to learn about local politics, I will endeavour to work constructively and objectively, in the hope that I can help to enhance the quality of life for Crowborough’s residents.
The election was held following the death of Peter Cowie, who passed away at end of last year. Philip will represent Crowborough East
(Montargis, Blackness and Alderbook) with Cllr Greg
Rose."
Cllr Greg Rose said:
" I’m so pleased that Philip Lunn has been elected to serve along side me on Wealden District Council representing all the residents of Crowborough East Ward. I’m sure that in union with the other Conservative Councillors for Crowborough we will be able to made a real difference on the issues that matter to residents.

CROWBOROUGH
LIFE DECEMBER 21 2015 - Vacant seat on Wealden District Council
The Tory candidate for the vacant seat representing Crowborough East on Wealden District Council is Philip Lunn. The deadline for submitting nominations to stand was 4pm today. At this stage CrowboroughLife does not know whether there are other candidates. If contested an election will take place Thursday 21st January 2016. The vacancy is a result of the sad death of Peter Cowie.
Mr Lunn supplied the following biographical details:
I have lived in Sussex for more than 30 years, and in the Crowborough East for almost five years with my wife. I therefore believe I am centrally placed to be of assistance to local residents.
I grew up in South Yorkshire, where all the men in my family had worked in coal mining for many decades. In his later life, my father became a college lecturer, and it was he who pushed my own education.
My career began in Yorkshire Local Government, where I worked for ten years before moving into the private sector. I worked within major law firms for about fifteen years before travelling to the
USA to follow new career ambitions. I returned to the UK to become a founder of two companies which expanded across
Europe. More recently, I have worked in
Turkey and
Bulgaria, and I am still involved with those overseas companies.
My experience working with all types of people, in many countries, with different beliefs and cultures, has enabled me to understand the concerns and difficulties encountered, allowing me to help them wherever possible.
If elected as your Councillor I look forward to being able to use this experience and believe that it is is directly relevant to local politics, especially when combined with my local government experience and legal knowledge.
I hope to be able to work with other Councillors and residents, so that as a combined force, we can achieve positive results for the local community.
There are two councillors representing the East Ward – the other being Cllr Greg Rose.
You can find your Councillor by entering your postcode on the Wealden District Council website: Find my Councillor. If you are not registered to vote you have until Tuesday 5th January 2016 to do so to be in time for this poll. To register to vote go to:

POTTY TRAINING - Using a potty may be a new skill for your planning team to learn. It's best to take it slowly and go at your candidates pace, about the same pace as a child should do the job. Being patient with them will help them get it right, even if they sometimes feel frustrated.
On of the first things that they should be taught is that every person in the UK is entitled to a toilet no matter how much their team are out to get any challenging member of the public - and yes we know how irritating it is to be caught out - and yes of course that makes you hate that member of the public more for pointing that out - so that you try another dirty trick.
So, if you are going to plan a vendetta, be sure that you don't get caught with your trousers down. Bury your target good and proper - or that person may come back to haunt you with the inconvenient truth and reveal what your council did and why you did it. This was a collective decision involving the members because there is an oversight committee and the officers only do what the members tell them.
If having read this you still feel the urge to go after this particular potty trainer, you may not suitable material for continued council membership and may find that continual bed wetting requires more toilet treatment - because you have been influenced emotionally by the knowledge of having been beaten by an untrained member of the public. With that knowledge and the conflicting advice from your very highly paid professional planning officers and lawyers you may no longer feel capable of reasoned case handling without another outside barrister's opinion - and more expense to the tax paying public. A good Councillor acts impartially and fairly, taking into account all of the duties imposed by statute - having assessed the evidence for themselves.

LET'S BUILD A BETTER BRITAIN - There is an acute shortage of affordable houses in the Wealden district. After the Second World War there were 2 billion people on planet earth. Millions were killed during the fighting but still when peace came there were no houses for our returning war heroes. Instead, there were slums. Sir Winston Churchill embarked on a rapid building spree to try to cure the problem but neither this famous Prime Minister, not any that followed, could keep up with the demand. Hardly surprising since we are now at 7 billion on our beautiful Blue Planet. The planners at Wealden are prone to empire building rather than providing low cost housing for families starting out in life. This agenda should change if we are not to continue contributing to climate change, where the 2008 Act is clear as to what the United Kingdom should be aiming for by 2050.
