East Grinstead Town Council Your Town - Your Voice - Your Future East Grinstead Neighbourhood Plan There are changes happening in East Grinstead. Have you heard about the neighbourhood plan for East Grinstead? The governments localism act means we all have a chance to influence the future development of East Grinstead through what is known as the Neighbourhood Plan. The Town Council together with local residents, business and community organisations has already started to think about what might be included into a Neighbourhood Plan for East Grinstead. We want to make sure that what we think is special now, stays special for years to come. www.eastgrinstead.gov.uk/neighbourhood-plan/ Recognising the areas unique history and heritage as part of East Grinsteads identity. Recognising and responding to traffic congestion. Sensitively and carefully planned growth. Conserving East Grinsteads attractive built and rural environments. Preserving and Protecting Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
We think our neighbourhood is a unique and special place. East Grinsteads rich history and picturesque setting has given us an attractive town that provides a pleasant place to live and work as well as ample opportunities to enjoy both the town and neighbouring countryside. The town needs new homes, jobs and public services but we believe these should not come at the expense of the character of East Grinstead and its surrounding areas. We welcome new development in the area however, this can lead to added pressures on the local community with its roads and services often being put under additional strain. It is important therefore, that our Neighbourhood Plan can find the right balance. Why do we need a Neighbourhood Plan? The East Grinstead Neighbourhood Plan is being prepared to guide and manage future development and changes within the town and surrounding countryside. There is a need to think more strategically and consider all future developments together in one plan rather than react to each and every individual development proposal. The Neighbourhood will enable this to happen. Changes over the next 20 years will be geared towards balancing local housing needs and economic well-being as well as conserving the considerable quality of the towns built and natural environments, whilst recognising and managing the acknowledged highway constraints. The Neighbourhood Plan has policies specifically designed to address these issues. If you would like to see the draft plan in full or if you would just like more information, please look at our website, send us an email, write to us or a copy may be collected from the East Grinstead Library.

A Plan to Manage Development Through to 2031. Our Towns Neighbourhood Plan has been produced in response to an opportunity to have direct influence on development over the next 16 years. Many of the issues are addressed on the basis of where we are now. Policies are designed to limit threats whilst still promoting new opportunities for the future. Your Feedback is Crucial. The Town Council which begun an 8 week consultation process ending on the 21st September. Feedback received during this period will be greatly appreciated and will be carefully reviewed with changes incorporated into the final iteration of the plan. The Neighbourhood Plan is Important. By not having a plan, East Grinstead is at risk from development that others wish to impose on our town. We would have no control over development in the neighbourhood and would be reliant on the Mid- Sussex District Plan. The District Plan has removed a number of specific polices which previously affected East Grinstead. Therefore, it is vital that your plan includes policies that protect and continue to enhance East Grinsteads special identity. Consultation period lasting 8 weeks between 27th July and the 21 September. The Town Council will review responses and determine if any changes need to be made. Following the consultation period, the plan will be publicaly examined and a referendum will be held for residents. Over 50% of those who vote must agree to the plan for it to become a legal document.
