Steyning Parish Council is preparing a new neighbourhood plan for Steyning. Once 'Made', the plan will be used to determine planning applications. 

​

The aim of the Steyning Community Plan (SCP) is to ensure support development that the across the town parish develops which is in line with the wishes and needs of its current and future residents of all ages, and offers an exciting once-in-a-generation opportunity for the community to have its say in shaping the long-term future of the townparish.

​

The plan is being managed prepared by a committee of volunteers from the local community who have a passion for their town and want to ensure fellow Steyning residents everyone is are given the opportunity to have their say in on the future developments of their community. For more information about The Committee click here.

 

The SCP will, once in force, be used to determine planning applications alongside other planning policy prepared by Horsham District Council or the South Downs National Park Authority. For it to be given this weight it needs to be prepared in accordance with the relevant legislation - The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) – and involves a number of stages to get there.

The purpose of this website is to keep the community informed of the latest updates and as a portal for you to have your say and get involved in the creation of the plan.
