The design and access statement says the key aim is 'to create a new self-sufficient and low-maintenance dwelling that is required as part of downsizing'.

• Tomato growers in Barnham are hoping to retain accommodation for seasonal workers, saying it is essential to the economic viability of the horticultural enterprise.

DOWSETTMAYHEW Planning Partnership has made the application to Arun District Council for Pollards Nursery, in Lake Lane, on behalf of The Green House Sussex Ltd.

Permission is sought for the permanent siting of 11 temporary seasonal horticultural worker accommodation, to include three existing and eight proposed.

This submission seeks to renew a previously-approved scheme as consent expired on March 5, 2024. The agents say the development is identical in form and substance to the scheme previously granted permission by Arun District Council.

The statement says: "It has taken the organisation five years to identify a site capable of meeting all its needs while supporting the growth forecast by West Sussex County, which anticipates a ten per cent annual increase in demand for Alternative Provision such as that offered by Angling4Education.

"The proposal will enable the applicants to provide an array of activities including fishing, bushcraft, wildlife identification, pond dipping, scavenger hunts, flora and fauna identification as well as conservation and wildlife surveys all under one location. They will also ensure that where practical disability access is achieved across the site."

The buildings will be temporary structures with no permanent foundations, so the the land can return to its former use should this be required in the future. They include an office for staff, a washroom for visitors and a changing room.
