Planning committee

Decided by Horsham Planning Committee on 20 Jan 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the reduced scheme respected the area, protected trees and avoided unacceptable amenity or highway harm.
  • Residents and the parish council raised concerns about overdevelopment, privacy, character, access, traffic, drainage, trees and ecology.
  • The committee approved the application, revising construction and materials conditions and seeking evergreen southern boundary screening.

Site constraints 5

National infrastructure project about 650 m away: Rampion 2 Offshore Wind Farm
The site is about 650 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Checked on 12 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
