Planners have approved the latest details of an application for 525 homes in Angmering.

Arun District Council’s Planning Committee gave delegated approval for the scheme in Water Lane on Wednesday (July 20).

The homes, which will sit to the south of the A27, gained outline permission in 2019 and the latest approval was for the appearance, landscaping, and layout of the overall site.

Developers CALA and Bellway Homes will bring forward the scheme which is expected to deliver a significant part of the housing allocated for Angmering in the local plan.

Previously, there were concerns that the design was ‘overly urban’ considering the site’s proximity to the South Downs National Park.

Now council planning officers believe it fits in with the area’s design code following ‘significant discussions’ and ‘independent design advice’.

A previous application allowed building to take place further to the north of the site, though the South Downs National Park Authority said this could affect views.
