Chichester District Council has outlined plans to bring Pinewood House back into use as temporary or short-stay accommodation, subject to planning permission.Details of the proposal are set out on Chichester District Council’s Pinewood House page, which says the scheme would create 51 units of accommodation close to Chichester city centre if permission is granted.

What is proposed

The council says Pinewood House is former student accommodation and that a planning application has been submitted because the current use applies to students.

If the application is successful, the council hopes the accommodation could be operating sometime in 2026. No final approval or exact opening date has been confirmed.

Where Pinewood House is

Pinewood House is on the Graylingwell site in Chichester, near the old water tower and close to Graylingwell Chapel.

How the accommodation would be managed

The council says the accommodation would be managed by its Housing Team, with a 24-hour presence on site, seven days a week, including bank holidays.

Facilities listed by the council include shared toilets and showers, shared kitchens and eating areas, a shared laundry room, parking, a staff office, and a room for meeting clients.

Pinewood House is managed by Ethos Property, based in Brighton. Chichester District Council says it aims to lease and manage the property if planning permission is granted.

How residents can view or comment

Residents can use Chichester District Council’s planning applications page to search for applications by keyword, reference, postcode or address.

Comments on applications can be submitted through the council’s Public Access system after registering and logging in.

The council says people without computer access can view plans at East Pallant House or The Grange Centre, Midhurst.

The proposal remains subject to planning permission, and no consultation deadline, planning decision date or planning committee date has been confirmed in the verified source material.
