The Planning Application for the new HHRFC Clubhouse Reference DM/23/1174 has been submitted and validated and is now under consideration by Mid Sussex District Council. A decision is expected this summer - on or before 22 August.

The details can be viewed online and Club members and supporters are encouraged to click on the link below and add your voice in support of the proposal to build a much-needed new multi-sports community facility at Whitemans Green. Comments can be made until Friday 16 June so please add yours today.
Amongst other benefits the new facility will provide:
• Inclusive access to six changing rooms which can be compartmentalised for use by boys and girls, men and women - separated as required, enabling development of rugby across all ages and genders.
• Improved accessibility for disabled athletes and visitors and more senior members with wide doors for wheelchair access, lift to first floor, disabled toilets on both floors and viewing balcony over main rugby pitch.
• Spectacular social space for Club and community events.
• Improved bar and kitchen facilities.
• External balcony with outside access to serving hatch for hot drinks.
• Dedicated Club shop and physiotherapy room.
• Storage facility for all sports played at Whitemans Green - existing premises that are no longer fit for purpose will be demolished once new facility open.
• A first class modern facility for all sports users of Whitemans Green and the local community.
The new Clubhouse will elevate the experience of sport at the Club and improve the physical and mental health and well-being of hundreds of children and adults that play sport at Whitemans Green.
