Why it was refused
- The proposed development would be sited within an inappropriate location in the countryside, outside of a defined built-up area boundary, and on a site not allocated for housing development within the Horsham District Planning Framework, or a made Neighbourhood Plan. Furthermore, the proposed development is not essential to its countryside location. Notwithstanding the absence of a five-year land housing supply, and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024) at paragraph 11(d), it is not considered that there are any material considerations in this instance which would outweigh harm arising from conflict with Policies 1, 2, 3, 4 and 26 of the Horsham District Planning Framework (2015).
- It has not been demonstrated that future occupants of the development would not be adversely affected by noise from the neighbouring railway line and road traffic noise from the A264. In the absence of information to indicate otherwise, the development would create inadequate living conditions for future occupants, to the detriment of their residential amenity and contrary to Policies 32 and 33 of the Horsham District Planning Framework (2015) and the National Planning Policy Framework.
