Hide AdRoffey Homes submitted a planning application to the council to transform the former swimming pool and car park, in Brighton Road, into 141 apartments.
In a report written by council planning officer Cian Cronin, he recommended that councillors approve the development. Roffey’s last application was rejected by the committee, despite officers recommending they approve it.
The plans have attracted controversy, particularly a 15-storey tower which was scaled down from 21 floors due to public outcry.
The council received a petition opposing the application signed by 2,318 people and 1,045 letters of objection, versus 222 letters supporting the application.
