Chichester District Council is to consider an application for the layout and appearance of 1,300 homes given the go-ahead for Tangmere.
The council gave planning permission for the site – to be known as Three Spires – on land between the A27 and Copse Farm, Tangmere Road, in May after almost five years of delays.
Originally designated as the Tangmere Strategic Development Location (SDL), the plans for the site were first proposed by Countryside Properties, part of the Vistry Group, in November 2020.
A design statement submitted with the latest application states: “The vision for the Tangmere SDL is one which seeks to deliver an attractive and comprehensively planned expansion, which successfully integrates with the existing village and which achieves a range of benefits for both new and existing residents.
“The vision clearly echoes that of the Tangmere Neighbourhood Plan, which seeks to ensure that the masterplan for the new development respects and achieves a ‘One Village’ approach and actively avoids creating a separate or segregated community which does not connect with the existing village.”
The 76 hectare site has been earmarked for housing since 2010 and makes up 14 per cent of the housing need in the council’s Local Plan.
Delays were caused when the council needed to issue two compulsory purchase orders to ensure all needed land was available. An error saw a small section of land at the Temple Bar interchange, where the A285 meets the A27, missed off of the original order, so a second one had to be filed.
As well as the new homes – 30% of which will be classed as affordable – the development will include an expanded village centre, a primary school, informal and formal open space, playing pitches, footpaths, cycleways and landscaping.
Access to the site will be via the Temple Bar roundabout, and Tangmere Road, with a secondary access point onto Malcolm Road.
