WGPC supports this approach but questions how it could be applied to Wisborough Green. Development in the northern parishes, promoting car use, does not support this ambition.

WGPC supports this approach but with regard to bullet point 5 questions how it could be applied to Wisborough Green. Residents in Wisborough Green have negligible access to public transport and car use is essential. Any development in WG is reliant private cars.

WGPC supports this approach but questions how it could be applied to Wisborough Green. It is inconceivable for WG to become more self-reliant in meeting local needs. The primary need is for food, and a small village shop fulfils basic requirements for some residents. The majority of residents are reliant upon car use to access shops in excess of 3 miles away. The nearest superstore, in Horsham, is 8.7 miles away.
There are no bus routes.

WGPC supports this approach but questions how it could be applied to Wisborough Green.
The proposal related to WG is purely for housing development. ‘The strategy is to locate development in areas which are well located to other uses’; Wisborough Green is not.

WG is currently serviced by two bus routes solely for shopping trips on 4 days out of 7, giving 2 hrs at the desintation.
There is no provision to link with employment or student requirements to the railway station in Billingshurst.
Private car use is essential.

WGPC supports this approach but questions how it could be applied to Wisborough Green. ‘Opportunities should also be explored’ and ‘presents an opportunity to explore’ are weak statements and provide no justification or support to additional housing development within WG or the north-eastern parishes; they elicit no confidence that improvements will be made.
It is an almost incontrovertible fact that any development in the northern-eastern parishes will be reliant upon the private car.

WGPC supports this approach. However, development in WG will neither enhance nor maintain the vitality of this rural community. WG cannot access services and facilities easily, and there is little choice in transport modes with residents essentially reliant upon a car; this reliance is amplified within volunteer services.

The Council’s updated facilities research in the Settlement Hierarchy Update Background Paper (May 2024) concludes that Wisborough Green has the range of services and facilities to be classified as a service village.
