Description
An exciting strategic development opportunity comprising approximately 5.44 acres (2.20 hectares) of rough pasture, situated on the edge of Staplecross and adjoining established residential development. The L-shaped site generally slopes to the south, with an established man-made pond towards the southern boundary. There are no services currently connected to the property.
The site is identified as a draft residential allocation within the emerging Rother Local Plan 2025–2042, under reference SC1, for approximately 25 new dwellings, together with associated public open space. The allocation remains subject to the ongoing Local Plan process and does not constitute planning permission.
The land benefits from good road frontage and existing infrastructure, including undergrounded electricity and drainage. The land is currently overgrown in places, with a shipping container and some miscellaneous debris and redundant materials requiring clearance.
Please see the property particulars for further information on maps & plans, sporting rights, access, overage, easements, wayleaves and rights of way etc.
