Important - Mid Sussex District Plan on Hold

Mid Sussex DC has decided not to submit its own district plan for public examination until the coalition government has rescinded the South East Plan.

This is important because the Plan imposed a very high housing allocation that would have resulted in overwhelming building levels. We have received mixed signals on the timing of the repeal, but it may be before the end of the year. In the meantime, neighbourhood groups are campaigning against the planned urban extension to Burgess Hill, development sites in Haywards Heath and proposals to build to the south west of East Grinstead.
