The current consultation on the Southwater Neighbourhood Plan ends in 10 days at midnight on 16th November 2018.
The Parish Council are currently consulting on the draft plan, and its associated evidence base, to make sure that the plan reflects the aspirations of the local community whilst adhering to its legal requirements and constraints before it is submitted to Horsham District Council. We are seeking views and comments from everyone that has an interest in the parish. Views and comments may relate to the proposed policies, the content/wording of the plan, whether the evidence base is appropriate/correct or whether anything is missing from the plan. If your comments don’t fit into one of these categories please don’t worry – send us your comments anyway as we would value your thoughts.
