A new market town in the Horsham district is unlikely without a neighbouring authority’s help, says the leader of the council.

Earlier this month two Conservative councillors said that ‘Horsham is full’ and the council should pursue a new market town in the south of the district as it decides its future housing strategy.

In the same week that planning minister Nick Boles praised new settlements as being ‘tremendously good things’, Ray Dawe (Con, Chantry), leader of Horsham District Council, said that a market town was unlikely.
