9. Hurstpierpoint College – The committee is asked to consider the following offer from Hurst College:
‘The graphic gives a rather broad overview of our current, planned and perhaps more elaborate, future intentions.
If it would suit, subject to COVID restrictions, I would be more than happy to entertain the Planning Committee here at the College for a short tour of the Campus, and then perhaps a further chat and/or discussion about these plans. I sense it’s probably a while since many of the councillors were here onsite, and some or all would be more than welcome if they wish to have a look around’ (Ref: Site Masterplan)
10. Street Naming: The committee is asked to consider and make suggestions to MSDC:
Land rear of White Horse Lodge, Furzeland Way, Sayers Common – DM/19/3952. Development of 9 new dwellings at the above-mentioned location which require 1 new street. (Ref: Sayers Common Historical map)
The role of the Planning Committee in planning decisions:
- The Planning Authority is Mid Sussex District Council or South Downs National Park Authority who have the final decision on whether planning permissions are granted or refused.
- The Parish Council is a Statutory Consultee, which means that MSDC or SDNPA must ask for its opinion and take it into account, but not necessarily follow its recommendation. (The Planning Authority can grant permission against the wishes of the Parish Council.)
- The Parish Council has delegated its decision-making to the Planning Committee, which is authorised to express the Council’s view. /
- The Committee should take account of local planning policies, as detailed in the MSDC Local Plan (2004), Neighbourhood Plan PARISH 2031 and the Mid Sussex Design Guide 2020. It can also take guidance from the Parish Council’s Design Statement.
- Members of the public attending Committee meetings are given the opportunity to speak on matters on the agenda but should follow the procedures set down in the Council’s Standing Orders.
Protocol for filming and recording at public meetings: The Council has a protocol for public filming, recording and photography at its meetings, which is available on the Council’s website or on request at the Parish Office.
