Horsham District Council plans demonstrate development advancing towards the WGPC boundary along the Arun River, and there is a real prospect of many hundreds of additional houses. Additional proposed major developments nearby at Dunsfold, in Waverley BC, Surrey, will also have incremental pressure on infrastructure local to Wisborough Green. Development in WG will aggregate with the growth of Billingshurst, and other local areas, and should be assessed together, especially with regard to all aspects of infrastructure. WGPC do not believe that spatial planning issues across local authority boundaries are being correctly considered. Incremental gains in WG, a sensitive rural village appear pointless set against the vast developments over the village boundary – poor coordination? CDC's duty of co-ordination with neighbouring authorites seem to only be considered at macro level, ignoring this cumulative effect of development outside CDC NE plan area.
