Revised Slinfold development plans approved following appeal decision Plans to build 24 homes on land north of Slinfold Cricket Club have been approved following an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. Wednesday, 9th June 2021, 3:10 pm Horsham District Council’s planning committee refused the application in November as members were unhappy with plans to widen a private track off of Lyons Road to 5.5m to allow access to the site. It was described as ‘unacceptable’ by some and ‘excessively wide’ by others. But applicant Slinfold Developments Ltd appealed and the decision was overturned on Monday (June 7). In his report, the inspector said the widened entrance would not be ‘intrusive or harmful’.
