Yesterday's Lancing Herald featured an article on CPRE Sussex's call for Adur Council to rethink their plans to allow house building on sensitive sites across Lancing and Sompting.

CPRE Sussex has called on the council to re-examine plans for development at New Monks Farm, West Sompting and Shoreham Airport, which would destroy the character of the greenfleld areas, and spoil historic countryside views.

David Johnson, chairman of CPRE Sussex, told the newspaper, "The Adur Local Plan needs a significant rethink and we hope that the district counci. l will dig deep to flnd brownfield land and unlock sites held onto by developers to demonstrate that  building on greenfleld land in this way is inappropriate and unnecessary."

In a front page article in the same edition, The Lancing Herald also featured the petition supported by local groups, including CPRE Sussex, to persuade the council to rethink their controversial plan to build over 1,000 homes across Lancing and Sompting.
