Who are SCAG?
The Stop Cuck-stye Action Group (SCAG) is a group of concerned local residents from a wide variety of different backgrounds and experiences who have come together to oppose the unwanted, unsustainable and undemocratic building of 1600 houses in a beautiful and iconic Wealden landscape.

By means of publicity, fundraising and the commissioning of expert reports, we intend to demonstrate that the Ansty Farms site is utterly unsuited for residential and commercial development. As such this site should be removed from Mid Sussex’s draft District Plan.

So...After the races.....what's next
We held our first major fundraising event of the year, the Race Night at Queens Hall, which was sold out and raised a magnificent sum of £4,000. It looked like everyone had a great time and many thanks to those that donated the prizes for the raffle.
Mid Sussex District Council will submit their plan together with our evidence to the Government's Planning Inspectorate this spring.
Legal representation does not come cheap. The Race Night was a good start but we will need much more. So the next phase of our campaign is to raise sufficient funds to give us the best possible chance of killing off the Fairfax plan for good.
