Homes planned right next to pub near Horsham

Plans to build four homes on a car park next to a Broadbridge Heath pub have been submitted to Horsham District Council for a second time.

The application, from the Stonegate Group, seeks permission to build two two-bedroom and two three-bedroom semi-detached homes on land behind the Shelley Arms, in Guildford Road.

An identical application was approved three years ago but, to make use of that approval, work would have to start by November 23.

The application includes landscaping as well as a new parking layout for the pub, providing 46 spaces, four of which will be for Blue Badge holders.

The proposed development will not encroach into the existing beer garden.

To view the application, log on to public-access.horsham.gov.uk and search for DC/21/2281.
