Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 19994

Received: 19/02/2020

Respondent: Horsham and Newton St Faiths Parish Council

Representation Summary:

The Council feel that further development in the parish should be confined to “infill” within the current local plan boundary. They have no doubt that if the proposal to allocate GNLP0125 for residential development went ahead the planning authority would come under extreme pressure to increase this further in to that landholding putting even more stress on local facilities and infrastructure. The land west of West Lane provides a green buffer zone to the various areas adjacent to the A140, Church Street and the NDR which are allocated for commercial activity.
