Erection of 4 no. 1 bedroom dwellings with associated hard and soft landscaping.

The Committee considered an application at building adjacent to Pumping Station, Horley Sewage Works, Lee Street, Horley for erection of 4 1-bedroom dwellings with associated hard and soft landscaping.

It was identified that the site was on Lee Street, not Lee Road as was listed in the report.

Councillor M. Brunt, a visiting Member, left the room for the debate and vote on this item.

Committee Members expressed concern regarding the small size of the dwellings with regard  to the relevant standard, although the report identified that Policy DES5 allows for exceptions where an innovative type of affordable housing is to be provided, and that it was not considered that the floor area of each unit would result in a sub-standard form of accommodation.

A motion to defer the application was proposed and seconded, and upon a vote the Committee RESOLVED that determination of the application be DEFERRED for further consideration of the size of the dwellings.
