Have your say on changes to the Soft Sand Review

West Sussex County Council and the South Downs National Park Authority are working in partnership to prepare a Soft Sand Review of the Joint Minerals Local Plan (2018).

Following examination hearings in August this year on the submission Soft Sand Review, a number of modifications have been proposed and published to allow representations to be made on their ‘soundness’ and legal compliance and procedural compliance, until 8 January 2021

Read about the letter to stakeholders and find out how to have your say in the three-month period from 9 November 2020 to 8 January 2021.

For further information on the Soft Sand Review, you can also visit West Sussex County Council's website page on the proposals.
