In an online public consultation, Churchill says it would provide 36 one and two bedroom retirement apartments, along with the six cottages, communal areas, parking and landscaping.

In a statement, the company says: “Typically, our customers downsize from a three or four bedroom family home. Therefore, for each retirement apartment occupied, a family home is released for sale into the wider housing market.”

It says that Horsham, with 34,679 people over the age of 60, has a need of retirement properties
