Plans for new East Grinstead homes submitted
Plans to build four houses in East Grinstead have been submitted to Mid Sussex District Council.
The application from ZMRP Ltd seeks permission to build the detached homes on land at Cedar Lodge, in Hackenden Lane.
Plans for eight homes on the site were refused by the council in 2018 and dismissed on appeal to the Planning Inspectorate.
Before this latest application was submitted, plans were drawn up for five homes on the site. But this was reduced to four following advice from council planning officers.
If approved, the development will be made up oftwo three-bedroom and two four-bedroom houses, each with two parking spaces. Another two parking bays will be included on the site. Access will be via Alders View Drive.
A statement submitted with the application said: “The proposal would deliver four family homes in a district that cannot demonstrate a five-year housing-land supply. This attracts significant weight.
“The efficient use of a contained site adjoining the district’s highest-order settlement, together with native planting and ecological enhancement, provides further benefits.”
