Everyone has the right to live in a great place. More importantly, everyone has the right to contribute to making the place where they already live great.
Whilst ‘placemakers’ (developers, designers, investors, policy makers and all those who influence the design and layout of places and developments) and local planning policy have a crucial role to play in ensuring that the opportunities exist for people to live healthier and sustainable lifestyle choices, here in West Sussex we want our place making philosophy and processes to be place led and place sensitive. People and the environment should be at the centre of concerns for healthy and sustainable place making This is why we are consulting with the public on this key document. You are our greatest assets within our communities and you have a key role in shaping and contributing to the policies and plans that deliver healthy and sustainable places for the future.
