Councillors approve housing scheme for Hurstpierpoint
Seventeen affordable housing units could be built if planning permission is granted today (Thursday, January 9) for 57 homes on land at Chalkers Lane, Hurstpierpoint.
Mid Sussex planning officers are recommending approval of the outline scheme even though the land is outside the village’s built up area.
In the absence of an approved district plan, officers say the council’s lack of a five year housing land supply “weighs significantly in favour of granting permission”.
