Description

Planning consent has been granted for an impressive 312.9 sq metre ( 3,368 sq ft ) four bedroom contemporary Sussex Barn style house.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial residential development plot extending to approximately 1 acre, benefiting from full planning permission for the construction of an impressive two-storey, four-bedroom barn-style dwelling.

The approved design offers an exceptional contemporary interpretation of a traditional Sussex barn, creating a striking family home of considerable scale and quality in an attractive rural setting.
The site itself is level, laid predominantly to grass, and benefits from excellent access, making it highly practical from both a development and future residential perspective.

A Planning Permission Ready to Implement
One of the most compelling aspects of this opportunity is the significant amount of technical and planning work that has already been completed, providing purchasers with increased certainty and potentially reducing both costs and programme risk.

Key benefits include:
• Full planning permission granted under application DC/24/1486 for a substantial four-bedroom barn-style dwelling.
• High-quality approved architectural design already in place.
• Significant planning and technical compliance work completed.
• Existing ecology surveys remain current.
• NatureSpace Great Crested Newt District Licensing arrangements already secured and in place.
• Confirmation received that Condition 5, relating to the now-defunct Water Neutrality requirements, has been formally validated for discharge/removal.
• Buyers can proceed with confidence knowing that many of the standard pre-commencement planning and environmental matters have already been addressed.

For developers, self-builders and private purchasers alike, this represents an opportunity to acquire a site where much of the groundwork has already been undertaken, reducing uncertainty and allowing focus on delivery of the approved scheme.
