Recent Planning Applications at Brookleigh...
It's been a busy start to 2025 at Brookleigh with three planning applications recently being submitted to Mid Sussex District Council (MSDC).
Bellway and Homes England have submitted a planning application for footway and cycleway improvements at Freeks Lane. The proposed works will cover the length of Freeks Lane extending north from Eastbridge Avenue, and into the Brookleigh development, running adjacent to Brookleigh's planned extension to Bedelands Nature Reserve, and heading west to connect to the new Eastern Bridge and Link Road. The aim is to improve access along this Public Right of Way and contribute towards the extension of the Burgess Hill Green Circle around Brookleigh (DM/25/0088).
Jackson Civil Engineering has also submitted an application for permission to build improved pedestrian and cycle access along two sections of existing highway: the first improvement being the north side of the A2300, between the Triangle Roundabout and the recently constructed Phase 1 'A2300 Roundabout' and the second on the A273 Jane Murray Way, between the Triangle An example image of a footpath and cycle lane Roundabout and the recently constructed Phase 1 'A273 Roundabout' and then continuing south to the recently constructed Pegasus crossing at Gatehouse Lane (DM/25/0109).
Homes England has also recently submitted an application to MSDC in relation to the development of the central section of the spine road through the Brookleigh development. The central section, named locally as Abbotsford Avenue and Crossways Avenue, will form part of a length of road which spans the width of Brookleigh, linking the A2300 in the west to Maple Drive in the east (DM/25/0446).
Previous Planning Applications

Homes England has donated the land for the Centre for Outdoor Sport to Mid Sussex District Council (MSDC), along with payments towards building and maintaining the centre.
