The nearby South Coast, along with scenic countryside walks, further enhances the appeal of the location. This is an ideal setting for family homes, combining a semi-rural feel with strong connectivity and access to key destinations across West Sussex.
FURTHER INFORMATION Planning permission has been granted for the construction of four detached, three-storey dwellings, each with private parking, landscaped gardens and new access arrangements. All pre-commencement conditions have been discharged, meaning the site is effectively ready to build, subject only to building regulations
approval, and the consent represents a departure from the Development Plan, highlighting its rarity. The site has been fully cleared and benefits from strong existing infrastructure including 3-phase electricity, mains water, main drainage and established hard standing, significantly reducing upfront cost, time and risk. The scheme offers a highly attractive and manageable opportunity for SME developers or regional Housebuilders,. An estimated GDV of circa £2 million (based on approximately £500,000 per unit), and the
proposed detached, three-storey homes align well with strong local demand for spacious, family-focused properties.
