This development has been railoraded against local consultation and against local agreement.

Everyone seems to think it is ok to build anywhere these days, giving no thought to green space or what is already there. I say keep up the good work to keep building to a minimum these days. Remember that people and their lives can be at risk especially children and the elderly more traffic and more pollution and even more accidents waiting to happen if traffic is increased.

Would increase pollution, traffic congestion, negative impact on local gap, wildlife, open spaces

This development has been rejected on many occasions already by the residents, the concil and planning authorities. It is wrong that a developer, backed by large quantites of money is permitted to try to batter the residents and authorities into submission by "playing the system". It is abundantly clear that this development is bad for everyone, apart from the developer.

At least 3 housing estates are planned for London Rd, and more elsewhere around Hassocks. There is only one road that crosses the railway along a stretch of several miles. Pollution, congestion, school places, access to health services, wildlife, flooding; how many reasons do the authorities need to refuse planning permission? We need homes - but in cities and towns. Are we going to turn all the South Downs villages into large towns? It's nuts.

Hassocks has more than its fair share of new homes in the last few years, we chose to live in a village for a reason and we are being forced into becoming a town without the supporting infrastructure

Area already suffers from congestion, trains are always full, schools are full, would destroy gap betwenn Hassocks and Hurst

Schools are fit to burst, pollution, more traffic congestion, VERY dangerous access to this potential estate to both car users and pedestrians. How many times do we have to say no

The road, car parks and local amenities do not have the capacity to take more housing in this area

As an informed member of the local play groups in Hassocks I have concerns about the increase in population and wonder how local infrastructure will accommodate increased population. The playgroups are full with long waiting lists in place already.

This development would erode a narrow and vulnerable Local Gap. It would exacerbate the winter flooding. It cannot alleviate the dire pollution problems. I utterly object to this proposed development.

I wholeheartedly agree with every word of this petition, and have submitted my own objection letter regarding this to the district council.
