Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Proposed external alterations of Oakdene to include the formation of a new principal entrance to the south (side) elevation, incorporating a new doorway with an associated canopy and signage; the retention of the existing front (west) door, its function being reduced so as to serve as an emergency exit only; the conversion of two existing external door openings to windows on the east (rear) elevation; the lowering of the cills of certain first-floor windows, and the installation of a new rooflight within the roof slope.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Mid Sussex for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About this record

Reading the register

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Mid Sussex is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.
