THE LAND
A freehold strip of land of about 0.27 acre (1,100 sq m), scaled from the plan and subject to measured survey. It runs for about 60 metres along the east side of the footpath opposite the end of Russell Way. Sutherland House is to the west, and the neighbouring car auction site and business units are to the east. The land is covered with trees and scrub. It has no planning permission, and any future use will need consent from Crawley Borough Council.

ACCESS
The land can be reached on foot from the footpath alongside. No vehicular access is confirmed, so buyers should check the legal pack for rights of access.

LOCATION
The land is south of Haslett Avenue East in Three Bridges, on the east side of Crawley. Three Bridges station, with services to London, Gatwick and Brighton, is a short walk away. Crawley town centre, Manor Royal and Junction 10 of the M23 are close by, and Gatwick Airport is about three miles to the north.

TENURE
Freehold.

VIEWING
From the footpath. Please contact the auctioneers before entering the land.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)

Not at the pin: mapped about 20 metres away.

These bandings are the summary. Where this location sits on the flood maps, plus planning activity, heritage and ground risks, is in the full report.

Important notice: Information, maps and tags on this page are drawn from the advertising agent's marketing materials or generated automatically. LandSale has not verified them. Relying on these details is at your own risk, always carry out independent checks before committing to a purchase.
