HAYWARDS HEATH’S NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN

The Localism Act 2011 has given the opportunity for Local Councils to develop Neighbourhood Plans. This will allow them to shape any required development and growth within their boundaries over the next 20 years.

Haywards Heath has taken up this opportunity and has committed to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for Haywards Heath.

By developing a Neighbourhood Plan there is a commitment to ensuring any required housing growth is balanced by improvements to the Town’s infrastructure and also to protecting the community’s facilities and environment where necessary.
Haywards Heath Town Council is delighted to announce it has been awarded 'Front Runner' status by the Department for Communities and Local Government to support the Town Council in the production of the Town’s Neighbourhood Plan.

It is important that the Town Council involves the local community in the development of the Neighbourhood Plan. So far, the Council has undertaken three consultations:

  • Infrastructure Consultation – identifying what additional services the Town needs and is likely to need in the future. (Now closed – the collated feedback is available on the Strategic Documents page of our website)
  • Business Consultation – looking at what local businesses feel are the strengths of the town, and what the weaknesses are. (On-going – you can still share your views as a business by following this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5GVFT2V)
  • Housing Location Sites – outlining potential sites for housing in the Town, and asking for input into each of the sites. (Now closed – feedback is currently being collated and will soon be available on the Strategic Documents page of our website).

If you did not respond to the above consultations, but would like to be kept up to date with the development of the Town’s Neighbourhood Plan, please submit your contact details using the Contact Form on the left hand side of this page, or telephone the Town Hall (01444 455694) Thank you.
