NOTES FROM MEETING HELD ON 19TH AUGUST 2024

THE PEOPLE’S BUDGET
Horsham District residents will be asked to vote on how money from Horsham District Council’s newly approved People’s Budget will be allocated.

The People’s Budget of £100,000, approved by the Council in June, will focus on activities and initiatives that support children and young people under 25.

As a first step, local charities and community organisations are being asked to put forward proposals that will benefit the under 25s via an application for funding.

Further details are available here

THE LOCAL PLAN
Horsham District Council has now submitted its Local Plan and a Planning Inspector has been allocated. The hearing will probably take place in January 2025, with a decision in mid-2025. The Local Plan is setting a figure of 480 houses per year and this has been substantiated by reference to water neutrality.

THE CAPITOL THEATRE HORSHAM
Horsham District Council is launching a new survey inviting comments and insights from local people as they prepare to refurbish Horsham’s The Capitol theatre next year.

The refurbishments will provide increased seating capacity in the auditorium and substantial improvements to the buildings infrastructure to help achieve the Councils energy efficiency targets.
