Any representation or objection relating to the order must be sent in writing to the Executive Director of Law, Assurance and Insight, County Hall, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19 1RQ or legal.services@westsussex.gov.uk (quote ref: CC803.16533) not later than 3rd September 2026. Applicants are requested to state the grounds on which it is made. Any representations or objections to the order will be kept on a file that is open to the public.
