Local Plan review evidence base
There are a number of documents that support the Local Plan review. Collectively these are known as the Local Plan evidence base and can be viewed below.
These documents support the Local Plan 2019-36. To view the evidence base for the current Local Plan, the Horsham District Planning Framework, please visit the Planning Policy evidence base page.
