Summary - FLAT 8, LEIGHSIDE HOUSE, COURT ROAD BN7 2UF
1 bed 1 bath Land
Huge freehold plot with nine-home consent close to station and nature reserve.
Approved planning for 9 units (Ref: SDNP/16/01618/FUL)
An unusually large, town-centre development site in Lewes with approved planning permission to create nine residential units. The consent (Ref: SDNP/16/01618/FUL) covers five three/four-bedroom townhouses, two two-bedroom duplexes, a two-bedroom second-floor apartment and a one-bedroom top-floor apartment — a mix that suits families and small households. The plot includes allocated parking spaces with provision for six additional spaces, plus communal and private gardens despite the central location.
This freehold opportunity benefits from immediate proximity to Lewes High Street, a five-minute walk to the mainline railway station, and near-instant access to Railway Land Nature Reserve — strong location drivers for future occupants. The vendor advises works are considered commenced. Purchasers should note services will need to be connected to the completed units and the site sits inside the South Downs National Park, so future works may require liaison with planning authorities.
Material constraints are clear and must be factored into any offer: a s106 obligation requires three units offered for affordable housing or a CIL payment of £89,454; the site is described as having a high local crime score; and the purchaser will be responsible for completing services connections. Flood risk is low. The site is offered freehold with a substantial plot area and immediate development scope for a buyer able to manage the s106/CIL and on-site works.
