LETTER: Grim inevitability of plan decision
I could not possibly say that the questions from the public were carefully selected because I have no proof.
However, the first questioner asked Cllr Vickers what would happen if the development were not voted through. This enabled her to say that the developers would then have the right to build whatever they wanted on the same land.

I have no wish to blight any of the villages but I would appreciate the same consideration being given to the residents of north Horsham.
Just visualise what we face - 2,500 houses, a huge business park, several schools (the secondary school being needed in Southwater), a supermarket, a cemetery and a crematorium.
This is the basis of a new town not the natural development of a ‘historic market town’.

Can you imagine the traffic chaos throughout the day, not to mention rush hours?
We must fight on.
