Plans for 191 new homes submitted to council

Plans to build up to 191 homes in a village in West Sussex have been submitted to Horsham District Council.

If approved, the development in Furners Lane, Henfield, will be made up of homes from one-bedroom flats to four-bedroom houses, with 45% of the housing classed as affordable.

The outline application for the land was submitted by Croudace Homes.

Members of the public have until 23 January to comment on the plans.

One objector said Henfield was already "saturated" with housing and too much traffic, which "seizes up" the village's high street.

Another added: "As part of the Neighbourhood Plan, Henfield already has three sites identified for housing which are still to break ground.

"The village does not have the infrastructure to support these, let alone more houses."

Access to and from the development will be via Charlwood Drive, with an emergency access off of Kingsley Square, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
