Preserving Our Villages,
Protecting Our Community
Handcross | Pease Pottage | Slaugham | Warninglid
In response to the Mid-Sussex District Plan update of May 2026 that proposes 1,042 new homes in Pease Pottage and Handcross, we are a dedicated community group focused on protecting the heritage and character of our villages from uncontrolled, large-scale housing developments.
Our Mission
To advocate for developments proposed in our district, one that has already accepted extensive development, only being approved where adequately justified with cumulative impact assessments, with infrastructure rigorously stress-tested and with a fully transparent process that engages the local community.
Group Principles
Cohesive
Constructive
Community
One unified voice, respecting both villages with a clear strategic goal
Evidence-led, not emotive. With clear separation between fact‑checking and opinion
Transparent, engaged and non-political
