Plan for five new flats above former Collingwood Batchellor site in West Sussex town

Betsa Capital Partners has applied to Mid Sussex District Council, via Maple Planning & Development, to change the use of the upper floors at 87-89 London Road.

The application said this is ‘largely vacant office space’, adding: “All habitable rooms benefit from good levels of glazing/natural light.”

People can view the application at pa.midsussex.gov.uk/online-applications using reference DM/24/3076.

Collingwood Batchellor closed down its retail until at 87-89 London Road in December 2024 before its new showroom opened at the old Carpetright building on December 27.
