Planning committee

Decided by Brighton and Hove Planning Committee on 3 Dec 2025.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the single-storey dwelling was considered suitable in design, amenity, accommodation, transport and sustainability terms, subject to conditions.
  • Six people objected over matters including height, overdevelopment, overshadowing, design, parking, contamination, drainage and the substation; one person supported it.
  • The committee agreed the officer recommendation unanimously without calling the application for discussion.
