- full or detailed application for Phase 1 of construction; 291 homes and related infrastructure.

Committees of both Horsham District and Crawley Borough Councils will consider the application.
Kilnwood Vale's vision
A sustainably built and located development, based on the neighbourhood principle, where residents can become involved in their community and share the benefits of a high quality of life. (West of Bewbush Joint Area Action Plan)
Kilnwood Vale will be built in a phased approach. Phase 1 at the western end of the site will have up to 300 homes (application is for 291) and will show the way for later development with a design code and design principles for homes, streets and open areas.
A walkable neighbourhood
A new neighbourhood with a distinctive form and structure inspired by the New Towns, the design for Kilnwood Vale aims to create a unique place based on a strong sequence of spaces.
