HOW MANY HOMES WILL BE INCLUDED? 

Currently, as part of the outline planning application, we are proposing around 70 new homes. This will include a mix of housing types including family and affordable homes.

​​​

WHY ARE NEW HOMES NEEDED?

In Partridge Green and Horsham district, there is a need for a wide range of housing for the local community. This development would provide around 70 new homes of which 35% would be affordable.

​

There is a national housing shortage and Horsham district is no exception. More homes are needed to meet pressing and future demand. The supply of new homes isn't keeping up including the need for affordable housing across Horsham, which would also help sustain local services and facilities.

​

HOW MANY AFFORDABLE HOMES WILL BE INCLUDED?

Our plans will help address the local housing shortage, by delivering up to 70 new homes, each of varying size and type. 35% of the available properties will be affordable, which could be up to 25 dwellings, allowing local families to get onto the property ladder for the first time.

​​

ARE THE PROPOSALS WITHIN THE GREEN BELT?

No, the site is not within the Green Belt. 

​​

HOW WILL THE PROPOSALS AFFECT LOCAL SERVICES?

As part of any planning consent, the applicant would be liable to provide a significant contribution to local services. This would then be spent by Horsham District Council and would contribute to infrastructure projects including roads, schools, medical facilities, sporting and recreational facilities, and open spaces.

​

As part of this process, the applicant would enter into a Legal Agreement with Horsham District Council to provide this funding, which would be negotiated during the planning determination process where required.

​

The scheme would also benefit local shops and other businesses by providing additional customers when the homes are being built and when they are occupied.

​​​

HOW WILL THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS BE OVERSEEN?

A Construction Management Plan will be put in place to manage matters such as dirt, noise and construction traffic. This would be secured by condition on the application during negotiations with the planning officers at Horsham District Council.

​

WHAT ASSESSMENT WORK HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN OF TRAFFIC ON THE SURROUNDING ROAD NETWORK?

As part of our assessment, capacity assessments of key junctions on the local highway network will be undertaken, informed by traffic surveys on the local highway network during school term time.
