Conservative Council plans to dump new housing on Burgess Hill
Mid Sussex District Council seems intent on imposing the bulk of the housing required under the government's housing targets onto Burgess Hill, having issued a press release outlining its favoured sites without consultation or discussion with any of the district's three town councils. It proposes 3,800 or 82% of the identified houses to be built to the north and north west of Burgess Hill (the 'Northern Arc'), as well as 570 houses on land to the west of East Grinstead (Imberhorne Farm) and 275 houses at Hurst Farm, Haywards Heath.
