Horsham countryside facing destruction to make way for hundreds of houses - in pictures

One of Horsham’s green oases is facing destruction if plans to build 700 new houses go ahead.

Horsham District Council wants to build the houses on land at Rookwood Golf Course - despite huge public opposition.

The council says it will expand nearby Warnham Local Nature Reserve if the housebuilding goes ahead.
