Description
Property number 54261.
An opportunity to acquire a substantial parcel of privately owned green land within an established residential neighbourhood in Saltdean.
Positioned behind surrounding homes, the land offers an enclosed green setting with a mixture of grassland, scrub and established vegetation. Its open character provides a green backdrop to neighbouring gardens and offers scope for a purchaser interested in the ownership, enjoyment and sensitive management of an urban green space.
The opportunity may particularly appeal to adjoining property owners, a group of local purchasers, or an organisation with an interest in community growing, habitat enhancement or conservation.
Potential uses for purchasers to investigate include garden land associated with adjoining properties, an orchard or growing space, a nature garden, or a managed community green-space project. Any alternative use, subdivision, structures, access arrangements or works would be subject to the necessary consents, title provisions and ecological requirements. No permission or legal entitlement for these uses is represented.
Planning and Further Information
The land is designated Local Green Space under the West Saltdean Neighbourhood Plan and is identified as amenity greenspace in the development plan.
An outline application for three dwellings with associated landscaping and community-accessible green space was refused by Brighton & Hove City Council (reference BH2026/00942). The subsequent appeal was dismissed on 30 October 2026 (reference 6014597). The land is offered in its existing condition without residential planning permission.
Prospective purchasers should review the planning decisions and legal documentation and make their own enquiries regarding permitted uses, access rights, covenants, services and any necessary consents.

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.
