Community Governance Review
The outcome of the review into whether Sayers Common should have its own Parish Council will be known by the end of September. Thank you to everyone who submitted feedback to Mid Sussex District Council during the two rounds of consultation earlier this year. MSDC is planning to make the decision on 28th September and the Parish Council will announce the outcome on their website and Facebook page.

District Plan Review
Mid Sussex District Council is still working on the review of the District Plan which currently shows 3,803 homes will be built in the local area before 2038 (mainly around Sayers Common, Albourne and Goddards Green). MSDC are reviewing the policies and scoring mechanism which decide what makes an appropriate development site. It is thought the number of new homes will go up rather than down. The Parish Council is proposing a public meeting in October and will invite the representatives of MSDC to brief residents about it.
