Proposal and Horsham Society comments |
|
Broadbridge Heath |
|
|
|
ADS 19 |
Possible Development Areas to North of Broadbridge Heath |
66h |
3 areas to be added to Strategic Location. The Horsham
Society is opposed to development on the area immediately west of the A24
and does not consider the other two areas, if approved, should extend so
far north. Also, If approved this must replace land identified in CP7 south
of Broadbridge Heath. Expansion to the north instead of the south of
Broadbridge Heath could avoid the problem of driving a new road through the
middle of the new development. |
|
ADS 20 |
High Wood Hill |
13.35h |
Proposed to be included in boundary of Strategic Location for new junction
with A24. The Horsham Society opposes this proposal.
The hill should remain outside the southern boundary of the site. |
|
ADS21 |
Land at Old Wickhurst Lane |
2h |
Proposed to be included within boundary of Strategic Location.
No comment. |
|
Horsham & North Horsham |
|
|
|
ADS 31 |
Rookwood Golf Course |
50h |
Proposed alternative to Strategic Location CP7. The
Horsham Society opposes this proposal. The Golf Course is adjacent to the
Warnham Nature reserve and provides both a suitable buffer to the Reserve
and an important recreational space. |
|
ADS 32 |
Picts Hill, South West Horsham |
12h |
The Horsham Society strongly opposes this incursion into the Horsham/Southwater
Strategic Gap. The railway line forms a natural, defensible southern
boundary to the town and this should not be breached. This land is
important to the setting of the town and its close relationship to the
surrounding countryside. |
|
ADS 33 |
Denne Parade |
0.03h |
Add 27 & 29 Denne Parade to Site Specific Allocation AL1.
Agree with proposal. |
|
ADS 34 |
Horsham Football Club |
0.04h |
Add 19 Queensway to Site Specific Allocation AL1. Agree
with proposal. |
|
ADS 35 |
Horsham Goods Yard |
5.2h |
Residential development and (if appropriate) commercial.
The Horsham Society believes the development of this site is long overdue.
But the success of any scheme depends both on satisfactory access to the
site itself and improvements to the roundabout outside the station and the
station access. |
|
ADS 36 |
Parsonage Farm (reduction) |
0.2h |
Reduce site boundary of Site Specific Allocation AL1 & AL3.
No comment. |
|
ADS 37 |
Land at Forest Road |
0.85h |
Residential development. The Horsham Society strongly
opposes this incursion into the Horsham/Crawley Strategic Gap. |
|
ADS 38 |
Land North of Moorhead Drive, Crawley Road |
5.3h |
Residential, retail, and amenity space. The Horsham
Society strongly opposes this incursion into the Horsham/Crawley Strategic
Gap. |
|
ADS 39 |
Hornbrook Farm |
9.8h |
Part of previous AL10 - 250 or more residential dwellings.
The Horsham Society strongly opposes this proposal which is a wholly
unacceptable incursion into open countryside. It fully supports the
proposal in para 3.8 of the LDF Core Strategy to protect the setting of the
town with its close relationship to the adjoining countryside to the east
and south, and to contain the built area within the A264. The A264 provides
a clear northern boundary but the position on the east side is less clear
and requires a very clear statement of intent to prevent further development
in this direction. |
|
ADS 40 |
Hilliers |
5h |
Part of previous AL10 - include in built-up area. The
Horsham Society strongly opposes this proposal as an unnecessary and
unacceptable intensification of use beyond the town boundary. It fully
supports the proposal in para 3.8 of the LDF Core Strategy to protect the
setting of the town with its close relationship to the adjoining countryside
to the east and south, and to contain the built area within the A264. The
A264 provides a clear northern boundary but the position on the east side is
less clear and requires a very clear statement of intent to prevent further
development in this direction. |
|
ADS 41 |
Warnham & Wealden Brickworks |
1.4h |
Addition to Site Specific Allocation AL16. The Horsham
Society has no objection in principle to this proposal but is concerned that
so far there appears to be a lack of planning for the significant upgrading
of the road network that would be required before the site as a whole could
be redeveloped. |
|
ADS 42 |
Graylands |
3.8h |
Mixed use, residential and employment development. The
Horsham Society objects to this proposal. It would be inappropriate to
intensify residential development in this location and it would potentially
create an undesirable node for future growth. |
|
ADS 43 |
Broadlands Business Campus |
7.7h |
Residential development and associated facilities. The
Horsham Society objects to this proposal. It would be inappropriate to
place residential development in this location and it would potentially
create an undesirable node for future growth. |
|
Rusper (part) |
|
|
|
ADS 64 |
Land North of Faygate |
5.3h |
Proposed addition to built-up area. The Horsham Society
strongly objects to any development on this site which is in the vital
Horsham/Crawley Strategic Gap. |
|
ADS 65 |
Timber Yard & surrounding area, Faygate |
11.8h |
Proposed addition to built-up area. The Horsham Society
strongly objects to any development on this site which is in the vital
Horsham/Crawley Strategic Gap. |
|
ADS 66 |
West of Crawley Area of Study (reduction) |
165h |
Remove area, including Ifield Golf Course from search boundary of Policy
CP6. The Horsham Society is concerned that the area
defined as the West of Crawley Study Area should remain large enough to
ensure that there is scope to deliver the planned number of homes in
sustainable, well designed developments. |
|
Southwater (part) |
|
|
|
ADS 79 |
Land at Trosslands |
1h |
35 dwellings. No comment. |

Include in built-up area. The Horsham Society strongly
opposes this incursion into the Horsham/Southwater Strategic Gap. |
|
ADS 81 |
West of Tower Hill (new) |
88h |
Proposed for Strategic Development alternative to CP7, West of Horsham.
The Horsham Society strongly opposes this incursion into the Horsham/Southwater
Strategic Gap. The railway line forms a natural, defensible southern
boundary to the town and this should not be breached. This land is
important to the setting of the town and its close relationship to the
surrounding countryside. |
|
ADS 82 |
Land between Tower Hill and Worthing Road |
10h |
40 bedroom hotel in rural setting. The Horsham Society
strongly opposes this incursion into the Horsham/Southwater Strategic Gap.
The railway line forms a natural, defensible southern boundary to the town
and this should not be breached. This land is important to the setting of
the town and its close relationship to the surrounding countryside. |
|
Other areas |

|
ADS 105 |
New Settlement at Kingsfold (new) |
203.5h |
The Horsham Society has previously offered its support to a new settlement
at Kingsfold as an alternative to further expansion of Horsham town; thus it
should now be considered as a replacement for CP7. |
