Our towns and villages are under siege from uncontrolled overdevelopment.

Developers—enabled by councils—are pushing through housing schemes that our roads, schools, doctors, and services simply can’t cope with. These plans aren’t about “local homes for local people.” They’re about profit before community, and we’re being left behind.

✅ Roads are already gridlocked.
✅ GP appointments are almost impossible to get.
✅ Schools are full.
✅ Flood risk is rising.
✅ Green spaces are vanishing forever.

We are not anti-housing. We are pro-planning, pro-infrastructure, and pro-community. But the current approach is reckless and unsustainable.

We, the undersigned, call on Wealden District Council to:

1. Reject all major housing applications until infrastructure is in place and communities are properly consulted.
2. Protect remaining greenfield sites, particularly in rural and semi-rural communities.
3. Support genuinely affordable housing for local families—not investor-driven developments.
4. Demand real local input in planning decisions that affect our lives.

If you live in or care about Sussex Weald, add your name now. Let’s protect what we have—before it’s gone.
