These days I am preoccupied with pro bono work for neighbouring parishes, and I have been successful in the four cases:
- Sedlescombe 2020 (vs GPL activity centre in the village) WON
- Catsfield 2024 (vs Greystoke, 122 lodges) WON
- Crowhurst 2025 (for Community Solar Farm) WON
- Motions for the Tree and for Rother Rivers, APPROVED by Rother via Cllr McLaren and Cllr Burton on 18 Sept 2025
- The Rights approved for the 1066 Yew Tree are believed to the FIRST in the UK for a tree.
