Core Strategy Review - 2,750 New Houses for Southwater?
"The Horsham District Core Strategy sets out a framework for planning the future of the District, including how the District Council intends to meet the Governments requirements for development. The existing Core Strategy covers the period to 2018 but we now need to look even further ahead as the Government has approved the South East Plan, which sets out new requirements from 2006 to 2026."
Horsham District Council's (HDC) document sets out some of the key issues in planning the future of the District including Southwater. HDC invited comments on these issues and options by 16th October 2009. The Parish Council as your elected representatives, negotiated an extended period to respond. This enabled the Parish Council, to leaflet every house within the Parish seeking your opinion and inviting your comments.
