Michael Jones - Leader of Crawley Borough Council has released a statement rejecting the West of Ifield, including “…new housing has to be built in the right place as well – and the West of Ifield is emphatically not that place. Many local residents have expressed their horror at the prospect of losing the beautiful surrounds around Ifield golf course and I agree with them.”

The proposed development

Homes England wants to build 10,000 houses and a Western Link Road, across Rusper parish, adjoining Crawley. Despite Homes England calling it a West of Ifield development it is actually a Horsham development, which will impact you and the way you live your live. More cars, less green space - for nature and for us, a bigger fight for doctor’s appointments and that’s only the tip of the iceberg!

BUT IT’S NOT TOO LATE!

We can stop Horsham District Council approving this - together!
