Since 1961 LINDFIELD SOCIETY has consistently scrutinised all local planning applications for the village and surrounding countryside. Our remit is to encourage the preservation, development and improvement of our historic village. We review around 200 applications during the year, and raise objections to about 5%, citing planning legislation and any detrimental affect on neighbours. We support residents affected by planning decisions and are often asked for advice by homeowners who are about to apply for planning permission for extensions and renovations. We are also happy to assist local protest groups who are objecting to larger building projects around the village.
Our involvement remains objective at all times.
