LUC worked with Mid Sussex District Council (MSDC) to develop a Community Buildings Strategy to guide investment in existing facilities and plan for new ones.

This strategy ensures future growth is supported by a network of community hubs that meet the needs of residents.

The strategy ensures all residents have access to high-quality community buildings.

This will strengthen social connections, provide spaces for cultural activities, and support the well-being of residents.

LUC planners conducted a comprehensive assessment of existing community buildings.

This included their quantity, distribution, available floor space, and their relationship to population centres.

LUC facilitated a community consultation process to understand the needs and aspirations of residents.

This helped identify areas where new or improved community facilities were needed.

LUC developed a delivery plan to guide MSDC's investment decisions. This strategy considers the best use of existing buildings, identifies locations for new facilities, and sets standards for future development.

By establishing a clear vision for community buildings, LUC's work empowers Mid Sussex District Council to create a network of sustainable, inclusive spaces that will serve residents for years to come.
