Following the resolution of Cabinet on the 22 July 2010 the Storrington and Sullington Parish Design Statement was formally adopted by the Council on the 6 August 2010. The Design Statement will now form part of the Council’s Local Development Framework as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

The document can be viewed below as well as the accompanying Consultation Statement that details the stages of public consultation the document went through before adoption, and an Adoption Statement notifying the public of the adoption of the document.

The following Design Statements have already been adopted by the Council as SPDs:

• Warnham Parish Design Statement SPD

The following parish and village design statements have been adopted under the previous Planning Act by Horsham District Council as supplementary planning guidance (SPG).

• Heath Common;
• Southwater;
• Partridge Green and Dial Post;
• Thakeham; and
• West Chiltington

After the revisions to the planning system, it was not possible to adopt any subsequent Design Statements as SPG or SPDs until the Core Strategy Development Plan Document was adopted by the Council. As a result the following documents were adopted as interim planning guidance in the meantime:

• Amberley
• Slinfold

Now that the Core Strategy has been adopted (2007), all of the Design Statements that were produced before it’s adoption will be subject to review to enable their conversion from SPG or Interim Planning Guidance into SPDs.
