A proposal by Thakeham Homes Ltd for 93 homes in Hurstpierpoint is being recommended for refusal by district planning officers.

Parish councils for Hurstpierpoint and Hassocks are opposing the scheme on land north of 31, College Lane. There are 264 letters of objection, including one from the Hurstpierpoint Society, with one letter in support.

The site is outside the built-up area for Hurstpierpoint and is contrary to the parish council’s draft Neighbourhood Plan. Development would also erode the strategic gap between Hurstpierpoint and Hassocks.
