About us

This blog is all about the residents of Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint trying to Protect Ham Fields. Ham Fields is the ancient name of the green space which remains between Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint, the so called Strategic Gap, also referred to as land to the west of London Road, Hassocks.

Parish Council Planning Committee

Last night Hassocks Parish Council Planning Committee unanimously voted to recommend the refusal of the Gleeson application.

Ian Credland, Ian Tovey, Valerie Alford and Jason O'Neil all talked separately about different key areas of concern, being:

Strategic gap/coalescence
Air Quality Management Air/Air Quality Action Plan
Infrastructure
Flora and Fauna

supplemental comments were also provided by Philip Weir.

This was a small victory for us but important nevertheless.  We will now need to turn our attention to the District Planning Committee and the District Councillors - more on this soon.
