In the Middy of November 10, there is an article headed ‘District Plan consultation’.

The problem is how do members of the public ‘consult’? There is no information in the Midi article so I looked online.

I eventually found a page headed ‘Revised District Plan set for public consultation’. The article mentions that ‘The Government’s Standard Method for calculating future housing need, sets Mid Sussex, a minimum requirement of delivering a further 8,169 new homes from 2021-2039’. At the end it says, ‘The revised draft District Plan is available to view online at www.midsussex.gov.uk/districtplan’.
