CPRE Sussex defends nature against development in Warnham, West Sussex

This is a speculative application. The site has not been allocated for development by Horsham District Council and is not supported by Warnham Parish Council.

The outline application DC/26/0585 is for the development of approximately 24 residential buildings, with associated infrastructure and landscaping. on land at Station Road, Warnham, West Sussex RH12 3SR.

In summary, our main reasons for asking Horsham District Council to refuse the application are:

The applicant’s Ecological Impact Assessment is inadequate and potentially misleading.

Biodiversity Record Centre data has been omitted from the Environmental Impact Assessment.

The applicant’s bat survey is inadequate; it does not comply with Natural England’s Guidance and Standing Advice.

The applicant’s bird survey is inadequate. It does not comply with Natural England’s Guidance and Standing Advice.

Whether the proposed scheme would deliver housing that is truly affordable is not assured.
