Consultation Draft District Plan 2014-2031
Consultation Details
The role of the District Plan is to say broadly what, where, when and how development will take place in Mid Sussex over the next 17 years. The Plan aims to encourage the local economy and helps to promote the health and vitality of Mid Sussex towns and village centres. It seeks to ensure the Council has planning policies in place that will protect the distinctive characters of its towns and villages as well as the beautiful countryside across the District. Whilst the overall strategy of the Plan has not changed from the 2013 District Plan, we want to give residents and other interested parties an opportunity to comment on the updated wording of the text and policies.
Mid Sussex Crime and Community Safety Consultation
Consultation Details
The Mid Sussex Community Safety Partnership is required to consult residents each year on their views of Crime and Community Safety in their area. These views are then used to formulate the Community Safety Plan for the District as well as allocate resources to tackle community concerns.
The Mid Sussex Community Safety team needs to understand views of local residents, agencies and businesses in Mid Sussex to identify the priorities that the partnership should focus on for the forthcoming year.
