Council planning officers refused outline permission for the 165 homes earlier this month, arguing that the site was an ‘isolated pocket of land’, physically divorced from both Chichester and Westhampnett, while the development would be out of character in this open area of the Lavant valley landscape.

The parcel of land is north of Madgwick Lane, with the River Lavant on its western boundary. The site is near other approved developments with housebuilding already taking place on the other side of Madgwick Lane by Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes.
