Community Life

For residents we hope that this website provides a comprehensive and accessible catalogue of the information you need about the area and its community.

We have provided special pages to direct people visiting or working here to sections that may be of particular interest to them, but we believe the majority of the information on the website is useful for residents so the main navigation bar (always visible wherever you are on the site) is for you.

Please have a good look around under each of the main menu items: like the village and its surroundings, there may be more to it than initially meets the eye.

The remainder of this page is given over to information and links about ongoing community issues, where possible providing the opportunity for residents to have their say.

Neighbourhood Plan

The Storrington, Sullington and Washington Neighbourhood Plan process was launched at a public meeting on 21 November 2013 and is nearing completion.
The latest public consultation is from 23 February 2018 to 13 April 2018.
For full information see the Parish Council website.



Mobile Phone Signal

A new mast was installed at the Chanctonbury Leisure Centre at the end of 2017.  The mast supports the O2 and Vodafone mobile services.  It became active on 18 January 2018.

Services from the Water Lane mast are also being upgraded.

Medical Centre

In May 2014 the Mill Stream Medical Centre was closed by the NHS leaving the Glebe Surgery as the only local practice.

The Glebe Surgery is one of the fastest growing practices in Coastal West Sussex and it is estimated that the current building is now at least 60% undersized to provide for the needs of the patients, and is projected to be 70% under what it should be by the end of the decade.

Although the practice has managed to maintain exemplary results in patient surveys, there is considerable urgency to establish an adequate sized GP practice for the future.

Following a public consultation held in April 2016 at which initial draft designs and layout options were presented, a planning application for a new medical centre was submitted in September 2016, followed by an amended application in February 2017.

To access the full application:

DC/16/2108

The planning application was approved by Horsham District Council on 8 September 2017.



Storrington Air Quality

As you may be aware Horsham District Council has been monitoring air quality in the centre of Storrington for some time. An Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) was declared by Horsham District Council in December 2010. With an Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) subsequently developed in 2012, in partnership with West Sussex County Council and the Parish Council. The AQAP details the measures proposed to reduce pollution levels to within European and UK Government objective levels in the centre of the village.

See the latest on the Storrington Air Quality Action Plan and the Storrington Low Emmission Zone Trial.
