Northern West Sussex Statement of Common Ground, July 2024 and Northern West Sussex Housing Needs Statement of Common Ground, July 2024
From: Constitution - Tuesday, 13th January, 2026 - January 13, 2026
The Northern West Sussex Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) and the Northern West Sussex Housing Needs SoCG were approved by the Head of Economy and Planning on 17 July 2023. The 2023 versions of the SoCGs were published on the Crawley Borough Council webpage and submitted to the Planning Inspectorate alongside the Crawley Borough Local Plan to support its examination, and demonstrate that the councils have met the Duty to Cooperate. Since the previous versions of the SoCGs were agreed, Mid Sussex District Council and Horsham District Council have progressed with their Local Plans. The Mid Sussex District Plan was submitted to the Secretary of State for its independent examination on 8 July 2024. The Horsham District Local Plan has been published for Regulation 19 consultation and is currently being finalised for its own submission to the Secretary of State for independent examination. On this basis, both of the SoCGs have been revised to reflect factual changes and the progress made since July 2023. As these are an update on the 2023 SoCGs to support the submission of the two neighbouring authorities’ Local Plans, they have been signed off by the Head of Service, in accordance with the delegation scheme (and in consultation with the Cabinet Member). The revised July 2024 SoCGs are published to the Mid Sussex District Plan Examination Webpage.
Recommendations Approved
High Weald AONB Management Plan 2024-2029
From: Constitution - Tuesday, 13th January, 2026 - January 13, 2026
The High Weald Landscape Partnership has produced the High Weald AONB Management Plan 2024 - 2029. The High Weald AONB Management Plan 2024 - 2029 was agreed by the Joint Advisory Committee. It was agreed by the High Weald AONB Partnership on behalf of the local authorities with land in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), of which Crawley is one. The Partnership requests that the council formally adopts it. Once adopted, this becomes the council's 'policy for the management of the area and for the carrying out of their functions in relation to it'. Land within Crawley's administrative boundaries which fall within the High Weald AONB form a small proportion of the borough, to the south of the A264, at Pease Pottage.
