Planning Policy

Planning Policies are documents that help to decide how, where and when development in Horsham District takes place. These documents are used to help make decisions on planning applications and to plan the future needs of the district by assessing what changes are likely to happen and where.

The key Planning Policy document that a council must prepare is its Local Plan. The current Local Plan is known as the Horsham District Planning Framework (HDPF). The Council has recently prepared a new Local Plan to replace the HDPF, this will be called the 'Horsham District Local Plan 2023-2040'. Full details of each stage of the review can be viewed on the Local Plan webpage.
