Strong opposition to 113 homes planned for hamlet near Chichester

The hybrid plans for Charmans Field, in Marsh Lane, have caused so much concern that they will be discussed during an extraordinary meeting of Oving Parish Council next week.

The hybrid application, from Landlink Estates Ltd, seeks full permission to build 26 homes on the site – complete with a new access from Lagness Road, drainage and landscaping – as well as outline permission for a second phase of up to 87 homes.

A design statement submitted by the applicant said the development would provide a mix of accommodation, from one-bedroom starter homes through to five-bedroom family homes, with 30 per cent of the housing being classed as affordable.
