Dear Steven

Planning application DM/19/1025 development of to 54 flats on land at
Wealden House Ashurst Wood East Grinstead RH19 3TB

Horsham & Mid Sussex CCG appreciate being consulted on this proposed new revised
planning application on this site and were aware that DM/18/1548 was dismissed for various
reasons..

We have been asked to comment on the developer argument that the site is not viable for
the inclusion of affordable housing of around 16/17 units which appears strange given that the
s
30% requirement is set out in MSDC District Plan 2014- 31. Regarding our NHS
requirements however , we do not differentiate between market and affordable housing as the
occupants of all types will ut ilise some or all NHS services and as such we wish to seek our
own Section 106 application , as set out below, based on the total number and types of flats
proposed.

By way of background Horsham & Mid Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are the
GP led statutory NHS body responsible for planning, commissioning and monitoring the
-
majority of local health services in the Mid Sussex area. (CCGs having been created following
st
the Health & Social Care Act 2012 and replaced Primary Care Trusts on 1 April 2013).
