70 Bed Care Home Development at The Copse site by Hangman Hill Roundabout, Planning application number DC/24/0622

Residents of Southwater, please note that Southwater Parish Council is aware that many residents are upset and expressing disappointment that Horsham District Council approved the 70 Bed Care Home Development at The Copse site by Hangman Hill Roundabout yesterday.

We just wanted to reassure residents that SPC strongly objected to the application (submitting a 10 page detailed objection) and made representation last night at Horsham District Council's Planning Committee North in objection to the planning application due to its non-compliance with various policies in the Horsham District Planning Framework and Southwater Neighbourhood Plan.


We strongly urged the HDC Committee to refuse the application but unfortunately 10 voted in favour of approval with 5 voting against.

SPC is currently considering initiating a judicial review as we stand ready to ensure that development in Southwater aligns with the principles of sustainable growth, community interest, and Neighbourhood Plan compliance.
