Council officers rejected the application because the development was ‘overbearing’ on neighbours, the developer had not agreed to pay mitigating costs to the council, a lack of amenity and not enough space along the main access road for fire and waste vehicles.
West Sussex County Council objected as the local education authority, since secondary schools in the area were already overburdened, saying contributions weren’t enough for the development.
Plans were submitted in April 2022, with the decision to refuse being given on the July 21st of this year.
