44 Goffs Park Road, (Formerly Oakhurst Grange), Southgate, Crawley

Notes

The site benefits from Planning permissions CR/2016/0972/FUL for 'Demolition of existing buildings and erection of a continuing care retirement community (class C2)' (now technically commenced due to demolition of existing buildings on site) and CR/2019/0642/FUL for 'Erection of an electricity sub-station & alterations to the parking layout in relation to planning permission CR/2016/0972/FUL as amended by CR/2016/0972/NM1' (granted 21/11/2019). An application is currently pending for 'Erection of an extra-care retirement facility (use class C2), comprising 106 self-contained apartments and 10 self-contained bungalows for older persons; ancillary facilities and services; soft and hard landscaping; access; and other associated works' under reference CR/2023/0223/FUL. The site is allocated as ‘housing for older people and those with disabilities’ in Policy H2 of the Crawley Borough Local Plan 2023-2040. Development of this site should therefore specifically meet the needs of older people, either as a care facility in the form of Extra-Care or Residential Care, or to provide gneral housing designed to meet the particular needs of older people and those with disabilities, including meeting building regulations part M category 3. The broader design and layout of development on this site should also give specific consideration to the requirements of older people and those with disabilities.
