Plans to build up to 150 homes east of Tinsley Lane have been turned down by Crawley Borough Council.

The outline application from Homes England, which included the demolition and rebuilding of Oakwood FC’s ground and club house, was discussed by the planning committee on Tuesday (September 29).

One of the main sticking points was the plan to use the narrow, ten-home cul-de-sac of Birch Lea as one of two access roads, the other being via Kenmara Court.
