Application progress
Refused on 27 Aug 2026 · Last checked 24 Sept 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Arun Planning Committee on 27 Aug 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the additional height was not considered harmful and the approved barn remained a realistic fallback.
- The Parish Council, residents, the Environment Agency and drainage engineers raised concerns about flooding, drainage, landscape impact and other matters.
- Members rejected the recommendation and refused the application for insufficient information about flood risk and surface water drainage.
