Thursday, 24 February 2022 08:00

Arun District Council have received a planning application for the development forming part of the Land at Barnham Eastergate and Westergate

This outline planning application has been made for the demolition of existing structures and mixed-use development to provide up to 1,250 residential dwellings, a care home/senior living accommodation, flexible retail and community floorspace, a primary school, plus associated open space, landscaping, drainage and all other associated ancillary works. This is in addition to realignment of the A29 and early connection to existing A29, including construction of a new road carriageway, junctions and associated infrastructure. The application includes the land north of the railway line and the A29 realignment south of Barnham Road to the Lidsey bends.

Councillor Terence Chapman, Planning Committee Chair said:

“Applications for outline planning permission seek to establish whether the scale and nature of a proposed development would be acceptable, before a fully detailed proposal is put forward. If outline permission is granted, approval of the details will be sought in reserved matters applications at a later stage.”

The proposal follows the endorsement by the council of a Masterplan for the site allocation in November 2020.
