File photo dated 28/2/12 of a general view of roof workers building new houses in Derbyshire as a surge in housebuilding spurred a new wave of optimism in the construction sector as it achieved its best performance for three years, figures have showed. PR
PLANS to build 40 homes can go ahead after the developer agreed to pay more than £300,000 towards education, libraries and the fire service.
Mid Sussex District Council gave permission for the development in Cuckfield Road, Burgess Hill, in November but a disagreement over money between Brookworth Homes and West Sussex County Council led to a delay.
The county council had asked for £623,000 of Section 106 contributions, which Brookworth said was “considerably more” than had been paid for smaller developments.
