Center Parcs has selected Oldhouse Warren – a site of high environmental value – for a new ‘village’ development.

Crawley Borough Council, in a full Council meeting on 19 October passed a cross-party motion opposing Center Parc’s proposed scheme, based on the environmental concerns expressed by CPRE Sussex and the other members of the Sussex Planning for Nature group.

Crawley’s MP, Henry Smith has also publicly opposed the development.
