Stop Bovis Ruining STorrington
Bovis Homes want to build 45 houses with 127 car parking spaces on a greenfield site at Bax Close outside of the Storrington village boundary and are threatening a further 100 homes on a second site at Clay Lane.
Development on either site will destroy wildlife and have a huge visual impact to and from the South Downs National Park as well as extending the village boundary.

Why is this important?
An application for Bax Close is currently with Horsham District Council and has been timed by Bovis Homes to avoid the Local Neighbourhood Plan which is currently out for consultation.
Access to Bax Close is proposed through New Town Road - both are narrow, single file roads and do not have the capacity for this much traffic. New Town Road also has a dangerous entrance/exit point on a hill and children walking to school (of which there are many) will be at risk.
This is without consideration for the significant infrastructure issues in the village - huge traffic congestion, air quality issues, sewage plant at capacity, no primary school spaces.
