Burgess Hill Town Centre Redevelopment

This is a public forum run by local volunteers for the people who live and work in and around the Burgess Hill area to comment on the recent MSDC plans to re-develop our town centre.

Background


In January, Mid Sussex District Council (MSDC) in conjunction with its selected developer (Thornfield Properties plc) published its long term redevelopment plans for Burgess Hill town centre. This came a quite as shock to many residents and businesses, as none had been previously consulted.

As a result, a local action group was formed to obtain greater information and co-ordinate our efforts in ensuring that our town centre is not turned into a multi-storey car park/concretre monstrosity.

If you have something to say about the plans (positive or negative) - say it below by adding your comments to our posts. If you would like to become an editor (to make posts), please email nataly@omegadm.co.uk. We currently have 37 editors.

Proposed plan in 3D



This the proposed plan for Burgess Hill - a Crawley/Croydon look alike. Click image to open up larger window. Note the height of the buildings. Almost all are 4/5 storey high - about the same as the current Amex building (Sussex House), consisting of business units on the ground floor and high density flats above.

Feel free to add your comments to this post.

The buildings are 4/5 storeys high for maximum profitability. It's all about the money I am afraid. If you download the main masterplan document from the district council website, the council/thornfields even openly write about their aim for the town centre to make as much money as possible!

Gits, the lot of them!
