Balcombe

BALCOMBE'S NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN: Great news! Our Neighbourhood Plan has been approved to go to Referendum on Thursday 1 September. Please vote YES to the question 'Do you want Mid Sussex District Council to use the neighbourhood plan for Balcombe to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?' The plan has been developed over the past 4 years with periods of consultation along the way, presentations by local landowners, visits to specific village groups and numerous questionnaires. We hope therefore that the plan will be supported. If you would like to see a copy of the Plan and the associated documents : Design Guide, Consultation Statement, Sustainability Appraisal and Basic Conditions Statement please see the Parish Council website or call 01444 811800.

AUTUMN SHOW - As the Autumn Show is fast approaching on Saturday 10 September, please could everyone have a look around their allotment, garden, window sill or coffee table and see what they can enter. There is a pot plant section (Class 42 and 43 for flowering or foliage) for those of us that don’t have the outside space. Class 64 is for a humorous or odd shaped vegetable - there is a lot of scope. Children under 5 can make a wriggly worm collage or picture. For further details please see the Year Book. This Autumn the competition cake AKA the Balcombe Bake Off is a Victoria Sponge with the recipe available on page 17 of the Year Book.
