Say NO to 800 houses at Horsham Golf
Horsham’s iconic Denne Hill climbs from the River Arun in the north to the lanes of the original Southwater Village in the south. Once a medieval park, Denne Hill supports an abundance of wildlife and flora in its ancient woodlands, streams, meadows and hedges.
Horsham Golf and Fitness wants to build up to 800 houses on their existing 18-hole “Beautiful Oaks” woodland golf course at Denne Hill.
This would destroy a thriving golf course, disrupt wildlife and the environment, strain essential services, compromise pedestrian, cyclist and traffic safety, and result in the loss of valuable green spaces and amenities.

Find out how it will impact Horsham Golf club, specifically.

Help us to protect Denne Hill and preserve its iconic environment for future generations by preventing this development.
Once it’s gone, it’s gone!

What The Experts Say...
A crucial stage in the local planning consultation process is the scrutiny of the application by subject matter experts.
​
From the strain on local services, to the impact on wildlife and travel safety – read what they've said so far.
Horsham District Council
“Insufficient secondary education capacity exists currently to meet the needs of the development. "
NHS Sussex
"Infrastructure levels are below recommendations and there are pressures on all services."
Active Travel England
“The proposed routes for active travel to a range of key amenities are not suitable for general everyday use in terms of safety and personal security.”
WSCC Local Flood Authority
“At this stage it cannot be concluded there will be no adverse impact on the Arun Valley."
Horsham District Council’s Landscape Architect
"The character of the area would change from well wooded, contained, semi-rural and predominantly tranquil landscape, to a new urban setting."
Denne Neighbourhood Council
“The impact on the wildlife and environment by building 800 houses and concreting over acres of land, will be immeasurable.”
