- The vision for Mid Sussex to 2026
- Core policies on general issues including the environment, settlement pattern, affordable housing, gypsies and travellers, town centres, shopping, employment, rural issues, community facilities, infrastructure and energy
- Housing strategy and broad locations for development
LATEST NEWS - TIMETABLE UPDATE DECEMBER 2009
At the Better Environment Advisory Group (BEAG) meeting held 15th December, the Chairman moved that consideration of the Core Strategy Proposed Submission Document be deferred to a subsequent meeting to be arranged. This was carried unanimously. At the Full Council meeting held on the 16th December it was resolved that consideration of the Core Strategy be deferred. The timetable detailed in the Report (available below) taken to the BEAG meeting is therefore subject to change.
A revised timetable is currently under consideration and will be posted on this page once confirmed. Subscribers to the LDF Email alert system will receive an automatic update.
