The ambition of the Burgess Hill Growth Programme is to transform the local economy, creating thousands of new high value jobs and making Burgess Hill one of the most attractive places in the region to live and to do business.
Whilst the Growth Programme was designed to positively transform the local economy, it would also increase travel demand. Without intervention, it risked an unacceptable increase in congestion and carbon emissions and the deterioration of road safety and air quality, ultimately impacting the ambition of delivering sustainable communities.
The Place and Connectivity Programme fundamentally supports the sustainable delivery of the Growth Programme and provides certainty and assurance in the delivery of project and programme management. It embodies Mid Sussex District Council’s (MSDC) aspiration to promote sustainable economic growth by creating sustainable local employment opportunities, alongside residential development and community facilities.
