Bolnore Village
From Wiki Sussex
In the late 1990s, planning permission was granted for 780 new homes on a greenfield site now known as Bolnore Village, located to the south west of Haywards Heath. Plans for this development, led by the house builders Crest Nicholson in conjunction with several other companies, have since expanded to 1,600 new homes. Construction works are currently focused on the south side of Bolnore Village (known as the Village Heights), but a planning application has recently been submitted for the final phases of the development, located to the north of the village adjacent to central Haywards Heath.
The decision to grant planning permission for Bolnore Village was somewhat controversial, since the Ashenground and Catts Woods on that site formed a Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI).
As a condition for planning permission, the developers are required to build a relief road for the town, often referred to as Haywards Heath bypass, which will re-route the A272 south of the town centre. Although the first section of the relief road has already been built, it remains incomplete as there are issues with land ownership and the road has to cross a railway line which involves protracted negotiations with Network Rail.
