Exceptional Residential Development Opportunity with Outline Planning Permission

David Plaister Ltd is delighted to bring to the market this outstanding residential development opportunity located within the desirable parish of Rudgwick, approximately 5 miles to the west of Horsham, and conveniently positioned for Cranleigh and Guildford.

Extending to approximately 0.64 acres, the site comprises a former agricultural holding previously used as a pig farm, with a number of existing agricultural structures currently in a dilapidated condition. The site forms a defined development parcel set within a semi-rural environment, with surrounding land predominantly agricultural in character and neighbouring residential properties nearby.

A unique opportunity for residential development:
The site benefits from outline planning permission, granted by Horsham District Council under reference DC/24/1811. The outlined scheme includes:
- Six detached dwellings with associated garages, parking and landscaping.
- All matters reserved.
- An indicative layout submitted as part of the application demonstrates the potential for six spacious family homes set within generous individual plots, offering an attractive opportunity for developers to deliver a high-quality residential scheme in a sought-after West Sussex village location.

The site is located within the attractive semi-rural parish of Rudgwick, a well-regarded village positioned between Horsham and Guildford, with Cranleigh also within close proximity. The surrounding area is characterised by a blend of residential development and open countryside, offering an appealing balance of rural living and accessibility. The site lies immediately to the north of the A281 Guildford Road, a key route providing direct connections to Horsham and Guildford, and onward links to the wider regional road network. A range of day-to-day amenities are available within the village, including a local shop, primary school, public house and recreational facilities. Public transport is accessible, with nearby bus stops providing regular services to Horsham and Guildford. Mainline rail services can be found at nearby stations including Christ’s Hospital and Billingshurst, offering connections to London and the South Coast.

Planning

Outline planning permission has been granted by Horsham District Council under application reference DC/24/1811 for the development of six detached dwellings, together with associated garages, parking and landscaping. The consent is granted in outline form with all matters reserved, allowing a purchaser flexibility in respect of layout, scale, appearance and access, subject to the submission of reserved matters applications. The site is identified within the emerging Local Plan under Policy HA14, which supports residential development of approximately six dwellings, reinforcing the principle of development on the site. An indicative layout has been submitted as part of the application, demonstrating the potential for a scheme of well-proportioned family homes set within generous plots, reflecting the character of the surrounding area. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with the Local Planning Authority and review all relevant planning (truncated)
