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.
