The Heath Common Design Statement SPD replaces the Heath Common Village Design Statement 1999. It sets out design guidance for development in Heath Common which lies within the Parish of Washington. The guidance supplements policies in the Horsham District Planning Framework, adopted November 2015. The SPD was prepared by Heath Common Residents in consultation with Washington Parish Council and Horsham District Council in order to develop clear design principles for the Heath Common area.
