Protecting Lindfield’s Character. Supporting Its Future.
Lindfield Society works to preserve the village’s heritage, encourage sympathetic development and improve local amenities for everyone.
WHO WE ARE
Since 1961, Lindfield Society has worked with parish councils, residents and local and national organisations to protect and enhance the village. We review planning applications, support residents affected by development proposals and speak up for thoughtful, appropriate change.
As planning policy continues to evolve, our independent local voice is more important than ever. We work to safeguard Lindfield’s distinctive character and strong sense of community while supporting improvements that benefit residents of all ages.
Our work extends beyond planning. We host free illustrated talks at King Edward Hall, recognise sensitive building and renovation through our Conservation & Design Awards, and created the village Heritage Trail with the Lindfield History Study Group to mark the Platinum Jubilee and the Society’s 60th anniversary.
What Are The Current Development Issues for the Village?
The Society constantly reviews all planning applications in and around the village, and in some cases liaises with other organisations, e.g. CBRE, LPC, LRPC to assess impacts and take appropriate actions
