Description
Freehold Development Opportunity - Additional Land Available by Separate Negotiation
A development site extending to approximately 0.64 acres, with planning permission for four substantial dwellings and the refurbishment of an existing property.
Additional land of up to 8.85 acres is available by separate negotiation and may offer scope for future development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.
SUMMARY A valuable development site on the edge of the Village of Rusper, reached via an access road leading off Horsham Road.
Lot 1
A development site extending to approximately 0.64 acres, with planning consent for four new family homes, together with the refurbishment and extension of an existing three-bedroom detached house.
The consented scheme comprises:
-Two two-bedroom semi-detached houses
-Two four-bedroom detached houses
-An existing three-bedroom detached house with permission to extend, offering an opportunity for refurbishment and enlargement
All five properties benefit from parking.
Horsham District Council planning reference: DC/25/1120.
Lot 2
Site with potential for residential development extending to 8.85 acres.
This development is partly liable for Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
DETAILS The site occupies a discreet and attractive position on the edge of Rusper, north of Horsham and west of Crawley. Combining a peaceful village setting with convenient access to surrounding towns, Gatwick Airport and the wider road network, the location offers an appealing balance of countryside surroundings and accessibility. The generous grounds offer the opportunity to create a small collection of family homes within an established village context.
The property is offered as a whole or in two separate lots, providing flexibility for purchasers seeking either the consented development opportunity or a larger landholding with possible longer-term potential.
Lot 1 extends to approximately 0.64 acres and benefits from planning consent for four new family homes, comprising two two-bedroom semi-detached houses and two four-bedroom detached houses, all with parking. The consent also provides for the refurbishment and extension of the existing three-bedroom detached house, offering the opportunity to improve and enlarge the property alongside the new development. Together, the scheme provides a mix of house sizes, with five residential properties upon completion.
Lot 2 comprises additional land extending to approximately 8.85 acres, available by separate negotiation. This land offers purchasers the opportunity to acquire a larger holding alongside Lot 1 and may have potential for future development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and other statutory consents. Purchasers should satisfy themselves as to its suitability for any intended use; no future planning consent is assured.
An overage provision will form part of the sale in relation to any additional residential units approved beyond the existing consented scheme. The detailed terms, including the duration, payment trigger and basis of calculation, are to be agreed between the parties.

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.
