Description
The land offers a good potential residential development opportunity located on the North-East side of the expanding village of Sayers Common with very good road connections from the adjacent A23 leading South to the cosmopolitan coastal city of Brighton (c. 11.5 miles) and to the North to the M23 including Gatwick airport (c. 16.75 miles).
The land extends overall to approximately 1.71 acres and to part of the area an appeal on planning application ref DM/25/0045 was allowed on 2nd October 2025 (appeal ref. APP/D3830/W/25/3361729) for planning in principle to develop an area of land within the overall 1.71 acres for up to five residential dwellings.
The allowed appeal is for permission in principle, as provided for in the Town & Country Planning (Permission in Principle) Order 2017. The Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) advises that this is an alternative way of obtaining planning permission for housing-led development which separates the considerations of matters of principle from the technical detail. Planning permission would therefore be required for both the permission in principle and the technical details being approved and the allowed appeal relates to the first of these two stages.
As part of the planning application an indicative only drawing showed a possible site layout but the final layout would be subject to detailed design and analysis as part of the second stage application to be submitted by a purchaser. The permission in principle has a default duration of three years from grant.
