Planning committee
Decided by Horsham Planning Committee on 19 May 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers recommended approval because the existing garage permission provided a viable fallback and no impacts significantly outweighed the benefits.
- Three objections cited overdevelopment, while the parish council strongly objected to the site’s expansion and loss of paddock.
- The committee approved the application in accordance with the officer recommendation after noting the dwelling’s increased size.
