Plans for a block of 20 flats in Southgate have been approved by Crawley Borough Council, despite being described as ‘a monstrosity’.

The outline application for the corner of Brighton Road and Stonefield Close had been refused before – and dismissed on appeal – as it did not include any affording housing.

But, with two of the flats now listed as affordable, members of the council’s planning committee had no sound reasons to refuse it again.
