Planning committee
Decided by Horsham Planning Committee on 12 May 2026. Earlier deferred on 17 Mar 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the revised layout reduced height, overlooking and visual impact while providing acceptable housing, parking and amenity.
- Residents and the parish council raised concerns about fire safety, planting, traffic, infrastructure, parking, sustainability and the rural edge.
- The committee approved the application in line with the recommendation, adding stronger boundary planting along the southern and western edges.
