Get involved Who to write to
If you want to fight this development please take the following actions:
Join the Save West of Ifield Facebook Group to stay up to date with the campaign news.
Write to people in power – particularly Horsham District Council – to make your views known.
Unfortunately templated letters won't work but do have a look at our objections page for inspiration.
Please see next column for addresses.
Write to local newspapers – West Sussex County Times, Crawley Observer, etc. We aren't getting the same amount of coverage as other developments in the area – so we need to step it up quickly. Please see next column for addresses.
Sign these petitions. This is much less effective than letters but ‘000s of signatures is useful evidence for the consultation process.
Everyone should write to Horsham District Council.
If you’re a Horsham resident then address it to your ward councillors – addresses here: HDC councillor addresses and copy in all Horsham councillors - copy and paste list below.
If you are not a Horsham resident then address it to the Council Leader – currently Martin Boffey.

Help Save West of Ifield
Save West of Ifield is a group fighting to raise awareness and to try and stop this. We are now at the stage where we need to bring in experts to help us to put the most effective evidence and arguments together.
This will be hugely expensive; therefore, we are asking for your help.
We would be so grateful if you could donate whatever you can.
