Developers plan to build 29 new homes in West Sussex village
Developers are putting forward plans to build 29 new homes on land in a West Sussex village.
Elivia Homes are seeking planning permission from Horsham District Council to build the homes on land to the south of Furners Lane in Henfield, along with parking spaces, landscaping and a new access road.
ECE Planning, agents for Elivia Homes, say in a statement to the council that the development would be a mixture of chalet bungalows, houses and flats.
"The proposed site layout provides 29 dwellings and has been carefully considered to accommodate a range of sizes, types and tenures to respond to the local housing needs,” say ECE.
"The residential mix consist of one, two, three and four bed properties. Within this provision 10 – approximately 35 per cent – dwellings are allocated as affordable tenure – seven affordable rent, and three shared ownership.”
The site – which is allocated for development in the Henfield Neighbourhood Plan – is currently greenfield land, bordered by mature hederows and residential gardens. A new access road to the site is planned off Furners Lane and a pedestrian access from Furners Mead.
Elivia Homes have submitted a ‘water neutrality’ statement, demonstrating, it says, that the development ‘can achieve water neutrality through necessary offsetting measures.’
