and live on Freeview channel 276
An outline application with some matters reserved (appearance, landscape and scale) has been submitted to Arun District Council to build nine dwellings on land south of Dukes Road.
A planning statement by Progress Planning said this was a rectangular shaped parcel of open and flat field accessed by Dukes Road.

Theoretical occupancy would be a population of 51 people.
“The proposal entails the development of an under-used parcel of land in an efficient, comprehensive and eminently suitable manner to realise a form of development which would constiture appropriate infilling,” the statement said.
“The site is not used in the optimal manner for a site partially within and otherwise immediately adjacent to a settlement where new housing development is absent despite the presing and evidenced demand for the same.
“The proposal is an opportunity to efficiently develop and eminently suitable parcel of land for a sought-after usage.

“The implementation of a landscape enhancement programme would bolster these boundaries/landscaping in general and integrate the development into its context.”
