Protecting our Amenities

  • Rookwood is a well used pay and play golf course, popular with walkers and nature lovers.

  • Rookwood is a precious community asset that generates an income for the Council.

  • Why is the Council selling it at half price?

Protecting our Green Space

  • Warnham Nature Reserve and Rookwood are a 32 year old ecosystem. How will urbanising improve on that?

  • Selling Rookwood is the start of a slippery slope to selling all community green spaces.

  • HDC’s approach is out of step with residents' wishes.

  • Building on green space is out of date thinking!" - Adur and Worthing authority understand this.

Protecting our Community

 Who decides?

The Rookwood land is owned by Horsham District Council and consequently the council is:

  • The developer who is proposing to build on Rookwood

  • The planning authority that assesses the proposal and advises Councillors

  • The political decision maker that determines whether the site will remain in the Local Plan

  • The financial beneficiary of the sale of the land


Together we can make a difference...
