Haywards Heath Town Council is a statutory consultee on all planning applications affecting the Town. Mid Sussex District Council is the relevant Local Planning Authority and all Planning Applications are ultimately decided by them.
To deliver our responsibilities, we review planning documents available in the public domain, hold private discussions with developers, consider comments from stakeholders and finally receive focussed input directly from speakers during Planning Committee Meetings.
The Town Council is fully committed to ensure that the Town's voice is heard on relevant applications made in Haywards Heath, and significantly, Mid Sussex District Council will take into consideration representations made by Haywards Heath Town Council before applications are determined.
Committee Membership: Chair: Cllr Stephanie Inglesfield, Deputy Chair: Cllr Duncan Pascoe, Cllr Abdul Bashar, Cllr Barbara King, Cllr Anthony Platts, Cllr Deanna Nicholson, Cllr Sandy Ellis.
