Storrington, or Stozza, is a large village and civil parish in
West Sussex, England. Actually two villages and two hamlets combined. These are Storrington and Sullington, and Cootham and
Heath Common respectively. It is situated at the base of the South Downs, and just
outside the borders of the South Downs National
Park. Being such a close settlement to the South Downs yet not actually being included in the National Park is frustrating for some residents as some villages and towns further down the South Downs but also further from the Downs are part of the Park. This is also frustrating as it means that there is not a harsh limit on development, as there would be in the National Park, so many
green spaces in and around Storrington might be turned into housing developments.
