Latest detailed plans for North Horsham homes

The company in charge of delivering 2,750 homes north of Horsham has submitted its first detailed planning application for housing.

Liberty Property Trust was granted outline permission for land north of the A264 by Horsham District Council back in 2017.

But in 2019, Legal & General purchased the site from Liberty and is now responsible for bringing forward the development.

The company has already submitted details plans for a foot/cycle bridge across the A264 and various other infrastructure works.

Now it has lodged a reversed matters application for its first parcel of 197 homes to the west of Rusper Road.

This follows a separate reserved matters for an area immediately to the east submitted by Cala Homes last year for 193 homes.

Of the 197 homes, 25 would be affordable and 172 market units. There would be 430 residential parking spaces in total and 36 for visitors.

These homes are predominantly two storeys, with elements of 2.5 storeys along the principle street.

The application concludes: “The proposals for RM [reserved matters] area 2 has been designed to support the ambition for Land North of Horsham as set out in the OPP [outline planning permission] and DLS [design and landscape strategy], to deliver a sustainable community that is welcoming, inclusive and built to last.

“A neighbourhood created through spaces and buildings that are rooted in their environment and local context, and take advantage of the unique landscape setting of this site.”
