Introduction 1.1 This representation is submitted to the Horsham District Council (HDC), on behalf of Bellway Homes Ltd (“Bellway”) and Crest Strategic Projects (“Crest”), in relation to the Billingshurst Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 16 Consultation. 1.2 This representation specifically relates to the key aspects of the Billingshurst Neighbourhood Plan (BNP) that are relevant to the Land East of Billingshurst, Little Daux (the Site). It follows the representation made to the previous consultation on the Regulation 14 Draft BNP, and seeks to highlight any comments or concerns to help ensure full consideration and enable the basic conditions to be met. 1.3 Significantly, it is highlighted that the summary of representations to the Regulation 14 consultation, as contained in the Consultation Statement (February 2020), does not refer to our previous correspondence with Billingshurst Parish Council (BPC) or our submitted representations made on behalf of Bellway and Crest.
