Key Considerations: This proposal has two small divisions in 2015 (Broadbridge and St Leonards Forest) and one over 10% (Storrington). However, they all come into the band by 2021 giving a 2021 proposal with nothing outside the 10% band. This has been, by far, the most difficult district to come up with coherent proposals and it involves more transfers than in any other district. It involves changes in the boundaries of the three town divisions (Riverside, Hurst, Roffey) and the loss of an urban area (Leechpool) to a largely rural St Leonards Forest. The large development at Kilnwood Vale was the biggest distorting problem. The new St Leonards Forest division will necessarily be a large urban/rural area with the built-up area of Leechpool at one end and the new Kilnwood Vale at the other. In between is a pretty sparse rural area. St. Leonards Forest will have the smallest electorate in 2015 by far, but the significant building already underway in Kilnwood Vale will bring it up to a much more equitable position by 2021. .
