Of immediate concern to residents of Adversane, North Heath, Broadford Bridge and Marringdean Road is the proposal to develop a New Town of 3,500-4,000 houses and industrial units on the land south-east of Adversane crossroads.

The land East and West of Billingshurst are also under great pressure due to current infrastructure, we must object to all three options.

You can email your comments on the local plan to strategic.planning@horsham.gov.uk Remember to always quote the references above. You can use the ‘points of objection’ document above to qualify your email response.

HDC requires online registration to make online comments; however, they will accept letters as well. It is important that all letters / comments are made by individuals and relate, as much as possible, to facts / matters of Planning Policy. While petitions, joint letters and letters from representative bodies, such as Resident Associations, will be noted, they do not carry the weight of opinion that hundreds of individual submissions. So, please write / comment as an individual. 

All members of the family should submit a letter!

Some items to consider when making comments or writing letters:

Clearly identify the issue you are talking about. You should refer to the relevant policy number or part of the plan.

 If you are objecting, it would help if you could clearly state what you would like to see changed and suggest an alternative.
 Relate your comment to planning issues.
 As far as possible, support your comment with evidence.
 Any comments you make will be public information. 

For this reason, please avoid using personal details or photographs.

Please try to refer to sections within the plan when commenting

The councils decision will be based upon the Local-Plan, the Interim sustainability Report and the objections received.
