Bewbush affordable housing on playing field site up for decision

Working with architects Bailey Partnership, the council submitted an application to its own planning team asking permission to build on the land, in Bewbush.

A decision will be made at a meeting on Monday (February 8).

If approved, the new homes will make up phase two of the development of the playing fields – the first included Waterfall Crescent and Douster Crescent.

The 2.7 hectare site will be split, with 1.9 hectares taken up by housing and the remaining land kept as a playing field.

The Breezehurst Community Pavilion will stay where it is.

The housing will be made up of 18 one-bedroom and 38 two-bedroom flats along with nine two-bedroom, 17 three-bedroom and three four-bedroom houses.

The site was allocated for housing in the Crawley Borough Local Plan 2015.

The planning meeting will start at 7pm. For an agenda and a link to the webcast, log on to democracy.crawley.gov.uk .
