Hampton Park

Development is well underway on this site to provide at least 1,200 dwellings, approximately 240 affordable homes, employment floorspace, a hotel, a care home, a new 2 Form Entry primary school, a community and youth facility centre and other amenities. This will be key to supporting the regeneration of the town and the economic growth of the area.

New vehicular access will be created from the A259, bridging over the railway line, with additional access from Mill Lane & Toddington Lane.

Financial contributions have been secured for local infrastructure improvements to the town, including a community hub comprising employment floor space, a new community centre, new healthcare facilities, youth and leisure facilities, a recycling centre and other facilities.

The outline application has been approved under planning application LU/47/11/

Permitted development restrictions

Permitted development rights are provided by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (the GPDO). This allows certain types of development to proceed without the need for planning permission. However local planning authorities are allowed to remove permitted development rights in some or all of its area by issuing an Article 4 Direction; or remove those rights on the original, or any subsequent, planning permission for the house. Where permitted development rights have been removed in either of these ways a planning application will be needed for development. The following conditions have been imposed:

  • Condition 3 under LU/347/14/RES (Phase 1): “Notwithstanding the provisions of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order, 1995 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting this Order) no extensions (including dormer windows) to the dwelling houses listed below shall be constructed or buildings shall be erected within the curtilage unless permission is granted by the Local Planning Authority on an application in that behalf:

IFS

The Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) provides an update on all matters regarding developer contributions Section 106 (S.106) and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) during the previous financial year.

Our first IFS was published in September 2020 to cover the period from April 2019 to 31 March 2020. Please see our current IFS statement.

We collect all CIL contributions for all types of Infrastructure (from 1 April 2020) but we do not collect S.106 contributions for the provision of schools, highways, libraries or the fire service (although, in some cases, S.106 for these items are retained for these projects, in agreement with the county council). In most cases, these items are the responsibility of West Sussex County Council (WSCC). Therefore our IFS should be read in conjunction with the WSCC IFS to identify how S.106 from specific development sites has been spent across the board.   

If you wish to contact us regarding any of the strategic sites, please
