A developer wants to build a new 110-home estate on the edge of Cowfold - but its scale to the existing village has been branded '˜laughable' by one objector.

Gladman Developments has submitted an outline planning application for land north of the A272 at Long Barn House to Horsham District Council.

The scheme includes 35 per cent affordable housing and an area of public open space.

Of the 7.37 hectare site, 3.14 would be taken up by residential development and the rest by green infrastructure.

The application has already prompted a number of objections from residents.

One letter said: “Cowfold is over polluted due to the two A roads which converge here. This scale of development would raise those levels to completely unacceptable levels due to the increase in traffic.

“Furthermore, the village simply does not have the infrastructure to cope with this scale of development.”
