Plans to build two semi-detached homes in Copthorne have been refused, despite a heartfelt plea from the applicant.

The outline application for Cottage Place, a private road off Copthorne Common Road, was considered at a meeting of Mid Sussex District Council’s planning committee on Thursday night.

It was refused because it was a countryside development outside Copthorne’s built-up area boundary – issues which went against policies in the District Plan, which controls development in the area.
