STAMP DUTY LAND TAX nrbpqflkW=

M

y wife and I own a house in Devon and a flat in London. I stay at the London flat for a few nights a week and have a main residence election nominating the London flat. We are selling the family home and buying a new home in Devon. Will I have to pay the additional 3% Stamp Duty Land Tax? ^kptboW

S

tamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) can be charged at ordinary residential rates plus an additional 3% where an additional dwelling is purchased which is not replacing a previous main residence.

The nomination of the London flat as the main residence applies for the purposes of Capital Gains Tax relief only.

For SDLT, taxpayers do not have the option to nominate a main residence, nor is there a requirement that spouses must only have one main residence between them.

There is no statutory definition of ‘main residence’ for SDLT. Which of two residences is the main one must be determined by considering how you reside in them. Case law has determined that a main residence is not the residence in which one spends more time, but that which is more important.

There are many factors determining which property is more important and not all of those indicators are not evenly weighted.

You might like to search the internet for “SDLTM09812” to review HMRCs manual on

the meaning of main residence for SDLT.If the London flat is determined to be your main residence for SDLT, then SDLT on the new Devon property will be charged with the additional 3% rate on the entire transaction because the property will not be a replacement of a main residence for both joint purchasers.

If the Devon property is determined to be your main residence for SDLT, the additional 3% charge would not apply to the purchase of your new home. However, it would be sensible to document the reasons for this decision to safeguard against a challenge from HMRC.

COMMENT

THE MARKET IS COMING TO TOWN

A

t last there are signs of returning some kind of normaility. But as I’ve said before it will be a long and slow road back for the economy. High Streets were already suffering before the pandemic arrived and so its good news that Burgess Hill Town Council are looking to breathe new life into the High Street..

On page 25 you can read about a new initiative by the Council to run a new monthly outdoor market in Burgess Hill. The ‘family friendly’ market will be held on the 2nd Saturday of each month in Church Walk, from 9am to 2pm. The first market will take place on Saturday 12th September 2020.

Burgess Hill Town Council, who is co-ordinating the market, would like to hear from local producers, farmers, market traders and

businesses who would like to be part of this exciting venture. Whether you’re an independent baker, greengrocer, fishmonger, delicatessen, organic egg farmer, produce local Sussex cheeses or make crafts and gifts, we want to hear from you.

At a time when these’s been no footfall and a large number of empty shops it will be good news to have an attraction to draw people into the town centre and help its revival.

To find out more about becoming a stallholder at the Burgess Hill Market and/or to request an Application Form, you can email market@burgesshill.gov.uk or phone Liz at the Town Council on 01444 247726.

MID SUSSEX DISTRICT COUNCIL

FORMER LIBARY TO BE DEMOLISHED

T

he former library building in Burgess Hill is set to be demolished in late summer and early autumn 2020 by a specialist contractor to carrying out the demolition work.

The former library was occupied and in continuous use when the attached Martlets Hall building was demolished in 2019. Now the library has moved to a new permanent location, it’s possible to demolish the vacant building, clear the site and make the whole area safe.

The site on which the former library sits is due to be redeveloped as part of NewRiver REIT’s proposed town centre revitalisation but, as the landowner, the responsibility for demolition rests with Mid Sussex District Council.

Due to the age of the building, and the asbestos that was found hidden deep within the structure of

8

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2020

the adjacent Martlets Hall building, an extensive intrusive asbestos survey will be undertaken before engaging with potential contractors.

Councillor Judy Llewellyn-Burke, Deputy Leader of Mid Sussex District Council said: “Our plans to demolish the former library have been in place since 2018 but unfortunately the library was still occupied when the Martlets Hall was demolished and wasn’t ready to move to its new home until December 2019.

“Burgess Hill now has a wonderful new glass fronted library with flexible shelving, a modernised public computer area and a Changing Places toilet that ensures the library is accessible for everyone. It’s a fantastic new facility for the local community and library’s relocation means we can now push on with our plans for the old site.

COVID FOOD DELIVERY

COMMUNITY CO-ORDINATES SUPPORT

B

urgess Hill Town Council, Burgess Hill Community Food Bank, Burgess Hill and District Lions Club and Burgess Hill Youth have coordinated their efforts in order to deliver food supplies to families and individuals in need in the Burgess Hill area in June 2020. Sussex Clubs for Young People also supported this project through the kind use of their Purple Bus to transport food.

This project was in response to the current circumstances some families are finding themselves in due to Covid-19. The food parcels were delivered to 70 families, nominated by local agencies, and the YMCA Downslink Group, who support 19 young people in Burgess Hill.

Leader of Burgess Hill Town Council, Councillor Robert Eggleston said, “the Town Council’s Covid-19 Food Delivery project has been a big community effort helping us to deliver food to the most vulnerable single people and families in the town. As a Town Council we want to ensure that no cupboard is empty and the Summer Hamper project, which builds on our Christmas scheme, is an important step in fulfilling that ambition. As ever, I am very thankful to the hard work of our officers and the support we receive from everyone in the community.”

Burgess Hill District Lions are pleased to be working as part of the team on the Food Delivery Project. Lion Chris Thomas-Atkin said “At a very early stage of the ongoing crisis the Lions Club recognised that the pandemic called for an unprecedented response. We were keen to donate money to the Town’s Emergency Fund, and to be part of the Emergency Committee in helping support our local communities. Projects such as these, along with the relocation of the Foodbank Service, are helping to make a difference for those in need during these difficult times.”

A representative from the Food Bank said “Burgess Hill Community Food Bank are delighted to support this delivery. At some point we will be moving to a high street location. We are currently open at the Salvation Army, Cyprus Road and will be open under Covid conditions during our usual times from 11.00 - 1.00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We also deliver to people who cannot get to us due to selfisolation or infirmity. Our Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint associates are open as usual.”

Jackie Cooper, Chair of Burgess Hill Youth, said “Burgess Hill Youth were happy to host the Covid 19 project at their newly decorated community building by Fairfield Recreation Ground. The project was very much in keeping with the community ethos of our club and we enjoy working with partnership groups supporting families in need.”

A recipient of the food supplies told organisers: “I am so grateful to receive food and important supplies on a regular basis, it is such a relief to know that when times are hard I have friendly people to fall back on with no judgement. It also means I can help out local friends and neighbours with small bits and bobs - it’s times like this that we all need to come together and do what we can for are community. I’m so thankful to have such amazing support .”

BOOK REVIEW

AN A TO Z ATTRACTION TO BRIGHTON Horsham Pages South talks to Sussex author Kevin Newman about his latest book, which he argues we need more than ever in the “Terrible ‘Twenties”.

B

righton and Hove when combined are Sussex’s largest settlement, and the larger of our county’s two cities, so it is not surprising that readers aren’t exactly short of books Kevin Newman. about the city and its past.

So, why do need another book on the ‘Old Ocean’s Bauble’ as Brighton was once described?

Lockdown is one reason, according to author of Amberley Publishing’s A-Z of Brighton and Hove, Brighton-born Kevin Newman. “When we were told we could only have one hour’s exercise a day, people that never usually went on walks widely decided they would now take them daily; it was their right. So you now have lots of people who’ve explored bits of Brighton and Hove they never knew existed on walks and want to find out more, and other Sussexians who’ve got the bug for exploring and learning and need inspiration for new walks. Hopefully the book caters for both.” Kevin also quotes the character Flora Poste in Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons, who said: “Sussex, when all was said and done, was not like other counties.” “If that is true,” he argues, “then it is equally true that that Brighton and Hove is not like the rest of the county, and so its uniqueness always makes it worthy of another look.”

The book is unusual too as it takes the reader on a selective tour of the past of Britain’s premier coastal resort in alphabetical order. A-Z of Brighton and Hove delves into the stories behind the city’s most notable streets, places, parks and buildings, as well as the dark secrets of its inhabitants, lesser-known lanes and twittens, such as Queensbury Mews, home to Brighton’s smallest pub. The book reveals the stories behind

12

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2020

some of the more unusual visitors to the city such as Sheena the camel who nearly ruined one of our first ever major conferences. Also here are tales of the town’s lessfamous daughters and sons such as the wonderfullynamed Chief Constable D’eath. “There was no way I could hope to emulate Tim Carder’s wonderful Encyclopaedia of Brighton and its early 21st century successor, but I hope my book provides something for everyone, whether visiting or a citizen of the city.”

“There is always more to discover about Brighton and Hove”, says Kevin “and in these ‘terrible ‘twenties’ we need the tonic of reading about such a happy city.” Indeed, the book tells how Brighton was recently voted the most popular British seaside destination on the list of 30 locations people considered ‘happy places’.

Beating Padstow in Cornwall, the sandy beaches of the Hebrides, St Ives, and northern rival Blackpool. The book is full of quirky snippets including that more than one in ten people from Brighton said it also was their favourite holiday location, which suggests Brightonians therefore even feel on holiday in the place they live in (or as the book suggests, they’re confused about the concept of a ‘holiday’).

The book argues Brighton and Hove is a city of achievements, accomplishments and firsts in times of peace or war. Not all of them are positive, of course. We read that the first man ever to die in

a car crash sadly came from Brighton, that it was also where the first Allied soldier to fire shots in the First World War was from but, more happily, the man who sent the telegram to end that conflict was from Hove.

Kevin has no plans to end his writing about his home town either, with Celebrating Brighton and Hove following next year and this November his

first published novel, Beef Every Day But No Latin from the Real Press telling the true story of Hove schoolboy James Bernard Clifton who set up the Claremont School in Hove – at the age of 11.

A-Z of Brighton and Hove is on sale in bookshops from July 15th and online, RRP £14.99.

SUSSEX MISCELLANY

THE JOY OF SUSSEX This new series of articles is written by Kevin Newman, a Sussex-born author, historian, tour guide around the county and history teacher.

W

hen Rudyard Kipling wrote “You be glad you are Sussex born!” in his poem ‘The Run of the Downs’, he was correct, we are indeed lucky to live in our lush locality. Sussex has a long and lively past and in this feature each month we will try to delve into the daft, analyse the awesome and remember the ridiculous. Today, to celebrate the semi-re-opening (cross-fingers) or our pubs and restaurants we start with funny food stories and alcoholic aspects from early days to our ‘Terrible Twenties’ as well as the places and people that bring them to us. Think food and drink are dull? Then you might want to watch out at harvest time according to this ‘old Sussex folk song’, by much-missed Sussexdwelling comic Spike Milligan: “Apples be ripe Nuts be brown Petticoats up Trousers down.”

I can’t guarantee that reading The Joy of Sussex may each month will leave you as excited as that but even so, I hope you enjoy this month’s exploration of eating, imbibing and those who help us do so. Let’s all raise a glass, whether it is Wobblegate, Silly Moo, Harvey’s, Greyhound, Dark Star, Wiston, Nyetimber, Upperton’s finest or even just good Sussex milk or water to cheer the good folk of Sussex who toil all year round and have worked hard through the lockdown to put fine Sussex fare on our tables.

Earliest Eats and Yesterdrinks Let’s start at the very beginning, as Maria Von Trapp in The Sound Of Music once sung, and focus on our biggest city’s nibbling habits. The earliest Brightonians we know about (of the late Stone Age) were likely to have been cannibals we think due to cooked fragments of skull being found by archaeologists at the camp at Whitehawk. We may worry about the amount of food waste today but more frighteningly, the hill-top dwellers seem to have thrown their dead

bodies out with their rubbish and leftovers. Moving forward in time, wine has been made in Sussex since the Romans and the Normans were able to win the Battle of Hastings partly due to the Saxons having drunk too much booze the night before the battle (whereas the French have never, never been known to drink too much….). Moving into the Industrial Age, with Harvey’s brewery in Lewes we have one of the country’s oldest (and more importantly, still independent and family-run) breweries, with roots dating back to 1790.

A Patriotic Pan of British Bacon From the 1790s we now move to the 1990s.

Chichester College (then Chichester College of Further Education) were given an unusual method of timing their cooking at the college’s food tech department back in the late 1990s. Mrs Ivy Davey who instructed the students in cooking advised them that the perfect way to time how long bacon needed cooking was to sing ‘God Save The Queen’ whilst it sizzled in the pan. She explained: “It has a running time of about two minutes – just right for each side of a rasher”. That is of course if you (unusually) can remember all the words and are willing to include the anti-Scottish bits later on. Nevertheless, should you too want to cook in a patriotic way then the most suitable recipe book is ‘Cooking the British Way’ by Joan Clibbon.

We started with Spike Milligan and we should also end with his words. My favourite food joke of all time has to be from the 1958 Goon Show episode The Man Who Never Was, where Bloodnok, a Chief of Military Intelligence says in an interrogation: “Admit it, you're a spy!” and the Spy replies: “I'm not a shpy [sic], I'm a shepherd!” and so Bloodnok of course replies: “Ahhhhh, Shepherd Spy!” Kevin Newman For ‘Scrumptious Sussex’ talks and motorised tours, please call All-Inclusive History on 07504 863867 or email info@allinclusivehistory.org.

RECIPE

FRYING PAN PIZZA Yes really – it’s so good!

Preparation time: Rise 2-5 days (yes this takes a little forward preparation but it’s so worth it.)

Cooking time: 5 minutes + 35 mins Makes 4 pan-sized pizzas IMPORTANT - You cannot use a non-stick frying pan for this recipe. It has to be a cast iron pan or skillet. fkdobafbkqp

Base 500g Strong white bread flour (But if you have any Italian 00 flour, it’s is even better).

1½ tsp dried active yeast. I did not have this throughout lockdown and used rapid dried yeast instead. I found that the rise time was quicker (2 days vs 4 days) so this might actually be a bonus.

1 tsp table salt 1 tsp sugar Topping 1 400g tin chopped plum tomatoes 1 pack buffalo mozzarella 1 bunch basil Extra-virgin olive oil, to drizzle Plain is great but you can add any toppings you like.

We made Pepperoni, ham and sweetcorn, and ham and pineapple. jbqela

M

ix the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar then stir in 325ml water to a smooth dough. Cover and put in the fridge for two to four days. Remember rapid yeast will activate faster and may only require two days, or even one if you’re in more of a hurry.

Tip on to a lightly floured surface. Divide into four roughly equal portions, shape into balls, cover and leave for two hours.

While the dough is rising take the cheese and toppings out of the fridge so that they come to room temperature.

Empty the tomatoes into a saucepan over a medium heat and simmer for about 30 minutes,

18

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2020

until they form a thick sauce. Season this to taste with salt and a pinch of sugar.

Once the dough has proved, flatten it into pizza bases to fit your pan. For reference my pan has a 26cm base. Heat the cast iron frying pan or skillet over a moderate-high heat. It’s ready when you drop a little water into the base and it instantly hisses and bounces. Preheat the grill to between moderate and high.

Lightly flour your hands then stretch the dough into a rough round, keeping the edges a bit thicker.

Cook in the pan until the top starts to dry out then add some tomato sauce and mozzarella. Wait a minute before adding any other toppings. Leave in the pan until base begins to char. The first time I chickened out but as I got into the groove the subsequent pizzas were much better.

When you’re happy with the bottom switch the pan to under the grill until the cheese bubbles and the edges brown. Finish with a few basil leaves.

BROADBAND BOOST FOR RURAL AREAS

R

esidents and small and medium-sized businesses in rural areas of West Sussex can now benefit from the fastest and most reliable broadband

connectivity if they choose to ‘go gigabit’.

Thanks to collaboration between the county’s local authorities, more money is now available to pay for gigabit-capable broadband connectivity through the Government's Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme.

County, District and Borough Councils in West Sussex have worked together to jointly invest in topping up the Government’s Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme to enable it to go further for our residents and businesses. Now rural eligible premises can claim up to

BODLE BROS SECURES LAND TO PROTECT FUTURE Homes England agree sale of land to safeguard local Burgess Hill business

H

omes England, the government agency working with partners to build new homes at the Northern Arc in Burgess Hill, has sold land to Bodle Bros, safeguarding the future of this well used local business.

Bodle’s specialises in animal, pet and equestrian supplies and has been trading since the 1830s. Michael and Julie Sandercock, directors of the business, had been renting the land their business occupies. Homes England acquired this land from their landlords as part of the wider plans for the Northern Arc development and has made it available to Bodle Bros with the sale completing on 17th June 2020. This means they can continue to provide a much-needed service to the community in and around Burgess Hill for generations to come.

Michael Sandercock, Managing Director of Bodle Bros said: “Buying this land has meant we have safeguarded our business at our

current location where we employ a local workforce. We have worked with Homes England to make this possible and I look forward to offering the same level of service to our loyal customers that we have always provided.”

Homes England is working with Mid-Sussex District Council, West Sussex County Council and housing development partners to build 3,500 new homes at the Northern Arc, 30% of which will be affordable. Alongside houses there will also be significant investment in roads, schools, healthcare, employment areas, parks and playgrounds making the Northern Arc a successful, thriving community.

Ken Glendinning, Project Director at Homes England said: “Retaining Bodle Bros is a part of our ongoing commitment to support local jobs and businesses in Burgess Hill as we build new homes and infrastructure and create more opportunities for sustainable employment.”

I am looking forward to welcoming stallholders to the town where they will be part of a revival of the town centre that the Town Council is working hard to deliver.”

GARDEN VIEW

WELL-BEING AND WATER

M

ost people find the sound of water relaxing. The benefits of 'blue space' â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the sea, rivers, lakes, canals and waterfalls, have been studied, and found to be psychologically restorative; associated with increased sense of well-being, lower levels of stress and mental illness, lower blood pressure, and higher levels of vitamin D. In short, being by water is good for body and mind.

Can we replicate this in our gardens?

The presence of water in the garden can transform a space into a natural haven of calm, and provide a focal point. Running water in a garden produces negative ions which are known to increase serotonin production in the brain. Serotonin is the chemical that elevates our mood and relaxes us.

There are many ways to introduce water into a smaller space, including natural look ponds and waterfalls, but you don't need a deep ornamental pond; you can create a small pond in a container, or create a toddler and pet-friendly pebble pond, or install a modern water feature which uses reflective surfaces that bounce light around, creating movement and life in the tiniest space.

Any water source will attract a wide range of wildlife. I have a metallic sphere water feature on my patio that seems to be a magnet for dragonflies, which are a delight to watch. A shallow beached area or pebble pool will attract bathing birds, and also frogs and toads, which can shelter, breed, and stay out of sight of potential predators. You may even attract a hedgehog or two. They enjoy shallow pools with sloped edges, so they can drink and bathe without falling in. A small barrel or container pond will allow algae to grow which will attract water invertebrates including snails, pond skaters and water boatmen.

Kids love water so introducing a pond is a

26

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2020

great way to encourage them to learn about local wildlife while having fun. Safety is crucial though; if you have young children it might be better to wait until they are older before creating a large pond, as it will require constant supervision. A pebble pool with a small fountain effect provides all the sound and fun of water with none of the depth, and a large trug or half barrel can be transformed into a tiny wildlife pond. If you do create a pond, position it where it can be seen from the house, make sure the edges slope gently, and fence it off while the children are young.

Planting around water features is half the fun. The water forget-me-not, Myosotis scorpioides is perfect for growing in shallow water or in the muddy area at the edge of ponds. It has pretty blue flowers in late spring and attracts newts, which lay their eggs on the leaves. Irises and grasses look lovely planted around any water features and you can even find a tiny lily - Nymphaea 'Pygmaea Alba' white - for small ponds, which has the bonus of being heavily scented.

Water features in a garden are no longer the preserve of the rich, with acres to spare.

Even if you only have a tiny balcony you can now enjoy the sight and sound of water in your outside space. Happy gardening.
