Following the resolution of Cabinet on the 24 March 2011 the Southwater Parish Design Statement was formally adopted by the Council on the 8 April 2011. 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:
Hard copies of the Parish Design Statements above are available from the appropriate Parish Council offices.
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 andDial Post;
- Thakeham; and
- West Chiltington

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.
