New phase for 850 home development at Whitehouse Farm submitted

The application will be the second phase of the large-scale development, with 750 homes already built on Old Broyle Road.

The second phase forms a development on the farmland west of Chichester which is allocated for a new community of 1,600 new homes with supporting facilities.

Five hundred and ninety five new homes have been proposed which will house ‘an unknown’ number of bedrooms’ within the houses.

It is located to the northeast of the A27; west of Centurion Way and adjoining the approved phase one development; and south of the B2178, Old Broyle Road. Two fields within the site lie immediately to the north of the B2178, contained by Centurion Way and Brandy Hole Copse.

Outline planning permission, meaning permission in principle, was approved in phase one for 750 homes in April 2018 and subsequently a number of reserved matters applications to deal with some of the details of the development have since been approved. Phase one is currently being built out on site.

Other developments in the proposal include: an extension to the ‘phase one’ primary school and community building and a range of green open space will be provided and will include green spaces, allotments and a Country Park to the north, as well as a new a sports pitch.

The new sports pitch will form a part of a cluster of sports facilities in the overall development.

Phase two would be accessible from the north off the B2178 by the constructed site access for phase one.

Phase two would deliver a second access point to the south of the development onto Sherborne Road and existing connections to the A259 and A27 beyond.

The development comes as part of Miller Homes and Linden Homes proposal to bring forward a number of different parcels of land, with four reserved matters applications setting out detailed layout and designs.
