Refused on 4 Sept 2026 · Committee · Last checked 17 Oct 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Crawley Planning Committee on 2 Sept 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised granting permission because the scheme would provide town-centre homes, retain ground-floor retail and respect the conservation area.
- One neighbour objected over retail loss, design, overdevelopment and parking, while the agent spoke in support.
- The committee overturned the officer recommendation and refused the application because its design, height, size and massing harmed the conservation area.

Crawley is one of the slowest councils in England for householder decisions, ranking #288 out of 296. The council extends the time limit on 73% of applications - one of the highest rates in England. Expect your application to take longer than the standard deadline. Crawley is also one of the strictest councils - it refuses more householder applications than almost any other, with only 82% approved vs 90% nationally.
