Shortlisted Sites and Housing Needs Survey We have now got to the stage of shortlisting five sites for further investigation. Our Street Champions will soon be delivering a two-part survey to every home in Crowhurst.

Welcome to the Crowhurst Neighbourhood Plan blog.  It has been rightly noted that there is no space for comment on the Neighbourhood Plan website. This blog is a response to that. A lthough the blog will post updates on the Neighbourhood Plan process, it is mostly to enable people in the village to engage directly with feedback, comments and questions.   The latest news is that we now have a shortlist of possible sites for development in the village. These sites are based on feedback from Crowhurst residents who came to see the Sites Exhibitions held over four days at the end of March / beginning of April.  We had over 500 responses and the shortlist emerged from these. If you would like to see comments on all sites and a summary of positive/negative responses please download the documents on the HOME PAGE .  The next step is a public consultation that looks at these sites in more detail and every household in the village w...
