Planning committee
Decided by Mid Sussex Planning Committee on 12 Mar 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved by 8 votes to 1
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the housing, affordable homes and biodiversity benefits outweighed the adverse impacts, which could be mitigated.
- Residents objected over countryside development, traffic, flooding, infrastructure, ecology, landscape and the effect on the nearby nature reserve.
- The committee approved permission, with 8 votes in favour, 1 against and 1 abstention.
