The site previously benefitted from planning permission CR/2017/0519/FUL: 'Demolition of the existing public house and associated flat and the erection of a five storey mixed use development consisting of 7 x one bedroom and 12 x two bedroom flats, 1 x drinking establishment (A4 use) and 2 x retail units (A1 use), with lower ground floor parking (amended description and plans)' (granted 22/11/2018). The site is allocated as a ‘housing and neighbourhood facilities site’ in Policy H2 of the Crawley Borough Local Plan 2023-2040. Development must include a drinking establishment (sui generis) and two retail (E(a) class) units. The minimum figure of 5 reflects the lower threshold for a Brownfield Land Register/SHLAA site. The maximum figure of 18 is based on the net yield of expired permission CR/2017/0519/FUL.
