Hide AdAndrew Wilford, associate for planning consultant Barton Willmore, said: “There is as everyone recognises an ageing population and there is a need for such a facility in Horsham.”
Horsham District Council’s draft housing strategy, which goes out for consultation this month, makes specific mention of schemes with care homes, but says they must be within easy walking distance of local amenities.
Mr Wilford added: “There is a need for housing across the country and this will help meet it.
“We welcome people to come along to the exhibition and give us their views.”
Countryside Properties have outline planning permission for 963 homes south of Broadbridge Heath with around half of those receiving full permission from Horsham District Council.
