Additional Notes

The site benefits from planning permission CR/2016/0294/OUT: 'Outline application (all matters reserved) for demolition of existing office building and integrated railway station building, footbridges and ancillary structures. Erection of 308 studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom residential apartments and assorted parking (C3 use class); integrated railway station building, footbridges, and ancillary structures; flexible use retail / coffee shop / business centre (A1 / A3 / B1 use classes); 120 space multi-deck station car park, vehicle drop-off lay-by and associated highway works and public realm enhancements.' The site is allocated as a Town Centre Key Opportunity Site for residential and/or town centre uses in Policies TC3 (Key Town Centre Opportunity Sites) and H2 (Key Housing Sites) of the Crawley Borough Local Plan 2023-2040. The current developer intentions for the site are set out in Reserved Matters application CR/2019/0602/ARM and full planning application CR/2019/0660/FUL. These benefit from a resolution to grant permission subject to conclusion of a S106 agreement, although the progression of the scheme to permission has been slowed by the requirement for development within the Sussex North Water Resource Zone to be water neutral, in accordance with the Natural England position statement of September 2021.

What is Brownfield Land?

Brownfield land is previously developed land that may be available for redevelopment. The government prioritises brownfield development over greenfield sites to protect countryside and make efficient use of existing infrastructure. Local authorities maintain Brownfield Land Registers to identify suitable sites for housing.
