WHO WE ARE

Since 1961 we have worked with Parish Councils and other national and local organisations, scrutinising local planning applications and advising and supporting residents affected by planning decisions.

As we move forward through the 2020s, planning restrictions will become slackened. It will become increasingly important for the Society to remain vigilant and active on behalf of Lindfield residents, to protect the intrinsic character and sense of community which makes our village a very special place to live, for young and old alike.

The Society’s involvement with the village includes organising several illustrated Talks through the year, held at King Edward Hall. The accomplished speakers cover an intriguing range of topics, from Pirates, Policing, to Art Nouveau architecture. These are open to all and free of charge.

Our Conservation & Design Awards acknowledge the efforts of individual residents who undertake home extensions and renovations, using sensitive design that enhances the property and retains the character of the village.

We launched the village Heritage Trail, in co-operation with the History Study Group, to commemorate the Queen’s 70th Jubilee, as well as the Society’s 60th Anniversary.
