An update from Mid Sussex District Council 2024

We have advanced to the next stage in our District Plan making process

View fullsize

Mid Sussex District Council has given the green light to the latest stage of its District Plan, marking a major milestone in the plan-making process. The Regulation 19 submission draft, enhanced with key additions and protections based on community feedback, is now open for public consultation. This achievement is the result of months of hard work and collaboration with various stakeholders, including invaluable input from local communities.

Robert Eggleston, Leader of the Council, emphasised that reaching this stage has been challenging but underscores the hard work and compromises made by everyone involved. The new District Plan aims to protect the local area while meeting the needs of the population, both now and in the future.

The Mid Sussex District Plan 2021-2039 sets out a visionary framework, outlining the vision, strategy, and policy framework for the District until 2039. It also commits to essential policies and environmental protections for climate change and biodiversity in all new developments.
