A public inquiry over a controversial planning disagreement will begin next week.

Persimmon Homes is continuing to push for planning permission to build 475 homes at Chatsmore Farm, a space of green land north of Goring train station.

Worthing Borough Council won a successful legal challenge against the Planning Inspectorate's decision to allow for the homes to be built last year.

However, this original decision has now been quashed and will be re-determined at this inquiry, which will begin at Worthing Town Hall, in Chapel Road, on February 6 from 10am.

Further hearings will also be held on February 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20 and 21.

Worthing Borough Council said: "As a council for the community, we are clear - our green spaces are vital for our health and the health of our planet.

"This includes Chatsmore Farm and we will fight to protect it."
