The Public Consultation of the Draft District Plan (Regulation 18) took place before Christmas. The unnecessary threat to the Chanctonbury Road allotments has infuriated many. The allotments were slipped into the Burgess Hill Station site DPH7 in the Draft District Plan 2021-2039 at the last minute.
Cllr. Anne Eves says, “It is outrageous that MSDC would consider building on allotments, especially with 200 people on the waiting list! Mid Sussex District Council have shown complete indifference to what the community wants. They don’t care about destroying wildlife habitats either: this is a green corridor to the ancient woodland beyond”.
