175 Smallfield Road and land to the rear of 171 Smallfield Road, Horley

The development proposed of the erection of 27 no. 2, 3 and 4 bed houses withassociated parking and access road. Alteration to 175 Smallfield Road to facilitate newaccess road has been dismissed.

The main issues are:

 – the effect of the proposed dwellings on the intrinsic character and appearance of the rural area;

 – the effect of the proposed development on flood risk;

 – the effect of traffic and parking relating to the access to the proposed development on the safe         and efficient operation of the highway network in the vicinity of the appeal site; and

- whether or not the proposed development would make adequate provision for affordable housing.
