Permission in Principle for the demolition of existing stables building and erection of a single dwelling on the footprint. Data via plota.co.uk
Application progress
Refused on 29 May 2026 · Last checked 3 Oct 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Horsham Planning Committee on 12 May 2026.
Refused
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised refusal because the dwelling would be in an unsustainable countryside location and its limited benefits would not outweigh the harm.
- Objectors raised concerns about the countryside location, listed building, design, traffic and precedent, while supporters cited the existing building, access and limited impacts.
- The committee agreed to refuse the application because it was outside the defined settlement and not allocated in the Development Plan.
