A BUM DEAL - Wealden have been preventing development anywhere near this well for over 30 years, but then when they got the chance to cause harm to their long term adversary, they leapt to granting consent for houses that they knew would create problems for those reliant on drinking water from this well. This allegation is the subject of investigation, as to corruption in local government, by way of organised planning crime.

If, as it appears, a corporation and two councils conspire to poison drinking water supplies, in failing to take the necessary precautions, that amounts to attempted murder, rather than corporate manslaughter. This is where simple negligence is rather a calculated risk, contrary to the duty of care that everyone owes to everyone else.

Everyone involved in the commission of a crime, the town planners, the Parish and District Councils, including the officers and the members voting for any development, who are put on Notice as to the offence, before the development proceeds, may be investigated and prosecuted. See Grenfell Towers.

It matters not that the Members of the councils were advised by the Officers as to the safety of the decision they were recommended to make, it is up to the Members to be sure for themselves that what is proposed is safe, with no long term consequences.

Negligence that is premeditated, or a calculated risk, should in our view be treated as murder, or at the very least as a conspiracy to abandon a statutory duty of care. Hence, should carry a life sentence. In the case of Clarion Group and Latimer Developments, and the allegation of favours, commonly known as impropriety, failure to declare interests - and of course bribes. Where a bribe need not be cash. It is alleged that Herstmonceux Parish Council did Tim Watson (former estate agent) a favour, and that in turn Wealden District Council did the Parish Council and the developers a favour, where the proposed development that is sure to cause poisoning of water supplies is outside the village boundary as per the Local Plan. The planning officers were Kelvin Willams and Claire Turner, under the leadership of their Chief Executive, Charlie Lant.

There had been a long history of this local authority and institutional discrimination, where certain officers and members should have declared an interest. The Register of Interests records no such interests being recorded. The question was asked in late January 2021, and replies are awaited.

THE LAW - 1861 CHAPTER 94

An Act to consolidate and amend the Statute Law of England and Ireland relating to Accessories to and Abettors of indictable Offences.

[6th August 1861]

WHEREAS it is expedient to consolidate and amend the Statute Law of England and Ireland relating to Accessories to and Abettors of indictable Offences: Be it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of "the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same, as follows :

As to Accessories before the Fact:

Accessories before the Fact may be tried and punished as Principals.

1 Whosoever shall become an Accessory before the Fact to any Felony, whether the same be a Felony at Common Law or by virtue of any Act passed or to be passed, may be indicted, tried, convicted, and punished in all respects as if he were a principal Felon.

Accessories before the Fact may be indicted as such, or as substantive Felons.

2 Whosoever shall counsel, procure, or command any other Person to commit any Felony, whether the same be a Felony at Common Law or by virtue of any Act passed or to be passed, shall be guilty of Felony, and may be indicted and convicted either as an Accessory before the Fact to the principal Felony, together with the principal Felon, or after the Conviction of the principal Felon, or may be indicted and convicted of a substantive Felony whether the principal Felon shall or shall not have been previously convicted, or shall or shall not be amenable to Justice, and may thereupon be punished in the same Manner as any Accessory before the Fact to the same Felony, if convicted as an Accessory, may be punished.

As to Accessories after the Fact:

Accessories after the Fact may be indicted as such, or as substantive Felons.

3 Whosoever shall become an Accessory after the Fact to any Felony, whether the same be a Felony at Common Law or by virtue of any Act passed or to be passed, may be indicted and convicted either as an Accessory after the Fact to the principal Felony, together with the principal Felon, or after the Conviction of the principal Felon, or may be indicted and convicted of a substantive Felony whether the principal Felon shall or shall not have been previously convicted, or shall or shall not be amenable to Justice, and may thereupon be punished in like Manner as any Accessory after the Fact to the same Felony, if convicted as an Accessory, may be punished.

Punishment of Accessories after the Fact.

4 Every Accessory after the Fact to any Felony (except where it is otherwise specially enacted), whether the same be a Felony at Common Law or by virtue of any Act passed or to be passed, shall be liable, at the Discretion of the Court, to be imprisoned in the Common Gaol or House of Correction for any Term not exceeding Two Years, with or without Hard Labour, and it shall be lawful for the Court, if it shall think fit, to require the Offender to enter into his own Recognizances and to find Sureties, both or either, for keeping the Peace, in addition to such Punishment : Provided that no Person shall be imprisoned under this Clause for not finding Sureties for any Period exceeding One Year.

As to Accessories generally:

Prosecution of Accessory after Principal has been convicted, but not attainted.

5 If any principal Offender shall be in anywise convicted of, any Felony, it shall be lawful to proceed against any Accessory, either before or after the Fact, in the same Manner as if such principal Felon had been attainted thereof, notwithstanding such principal Felon shall die, or be pardoned, or otherwise delivered before Attainder; and every such Accessory shall upon Conviction suffer the same Punishment as he would have suffered if the Principal had been attainted.

Several Accessories may be included in the same Indictment although principal Felon not included.

6 Any Number of Accessories at different Times to any Felony, and any Number of Receivers at different Times of Property stolen at One Time, may be charged with substantive Felonies in the same Indictment, and may be tried together, notwithstanding the principal Felon shall not be included in the same Indictment, or shall not be in Custody or amenable to Justice.

Trial of Accessories.

7 Where any Felony shall have been wholly committed within England or Ireland, the Offence of any Person who shall be an Accessory either before or after the Fact to any such Felony may be dealt with, inquired of, tried, determined, and punished by any Court which shall have Jurisdiction to try the principal Felony, or any Felonies committed in any County or Place in which the Act by reason whereof such Person shall have become such Accessory shall have been committed; and in every other Case the Offence of any Person who shall be an Accessory either before or after the Fact to any Felony may be dealt with, inquired of,-tried, determined, and punished by any Court which shall have Jurisdiction to try the principal Felony or any Felonies committed in any County or Place in which such Person shall be apprehended or be in Custody, whether the principal Felony shall have been committed on the Sea or on the Land, or begun on the Sea and completed on the Land, or begun on the Land and completed on the Sea, and whether within Her Majesty's Dominions or without, or partly within Her Majesty's Dominions and partly without; provided that no Person who shall be once duly tried either as an Accessory before or after the Fact, or for a substantive Felony under the Provisions hereinbefore contained, shall be liable to be afterwards prosecuted for the same Offence.

As to Abettors in Misdemeanors:

Abettors in Misdemeanors.

10 Nothing in this Act contained shall extend to Scotland, except as herein-before otherwise expressly provided.

Commencement of Act.

11 This Act shall commence and take effect on the First Day of November One thousand eight hundred and sixty-one.

POISONING WATER SUPPLIES - The well adjacent to the proposed development site will suffer contamination if this development proceeds. It is alleged that Latimer, Clarion and Wealden District Council have not taken suitable precautions to preserve this valuable asset for the occupiers of the old generating buildings. The question as to hydrocarbon and pesticide removal was asked by letter in later January of 2021. If no reply is received, this could lead to a Judicial Review.

....

COMMISSIONING A DANGEROUS JUNCTION - It is a criminal offence to procure or be party to procurement by granting permission, just as much as actually constructing the object that will be dangerous to ordinary users of the road, in seeking to gain safe passage onto the pubic highway, or to pass from the public highway to another road servicing housing, via a junction that is unsafe in any way.
