HDC proposal: Build 1,100 houses on Rookwood Golf Course
Why?• The population of Horsham is rising, we need more recreational green space not less!
• Protects the environment and increases biodiversity in line with HDC Corporate Plan 2019-23
• Take the opportunity to enlarge the nature reserve and attract visitors and commerce to Horsham
• Return wildlife corridors to the reserve and avoid light and noise pollution that will disturb bats,
birds, deer and all other reserve residents.
