The Cabinet Member for Planning and Development reported that, in order to plan for growth in Billingshurst and to ensure that the village centre was improved so that it could play a role as the social and economic focus for the area, a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) had been produced. The SPD had been developed based on previous research and stakeholder consultation. The Billingshurst Village Centre Supplementary Planning Document would identify key issues and priorities for the improvement of the village centre.

The draft Supplementary Planning Document had been published for public consultation on 4^th March 2016 and comments invited by 29th April 2016. The report before Cabinet summarised the consultation responses and any recommended changes to the SPD as a consequence.

The Planning and Development Policy Development Advisory Group supported the proposal.
