Support The Plans For Development At New Monks Farm

Agree to proposals for 600 houses and an Ikea store at New Monks Farm, if the flood risk assessment and highways improvements are deemed suitable, by West Sussex County Council and the Environment Agency as the relevant statutory bodies.

Why is this important?

The emerging Local plan has identified New Monks Farm as a key site for development to provide housing to meet the needs of the growing Adur population.

We the undersigned support the proposal submitted as it will deliver a significant proportion of the number of houses required by the district including 30% affordable housing. The investment by Ikea, a large international employer will bring a range of employment opportunities to the area at a time when the UK's exit from the EU is creating economic uncertainty.

The proposal includes significant investment in measures to manage flood risk and highways improvements, if these are deemed satisfactory by the statutory bodies we believe that this development should go ahead as it will increase the level of housing available in the Adur district, provide growth to the local economy through the jobs created, and provide increased council tax revenues at a time when funding from central government is reducing.
