Summary - NURSERY HOUSE RESTING OAK HILL COOKSBRIDGE LEWES BN8 4PR
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large rural development plot with strong transport links and commercial potential.
Outline planning for 9 dwellings and up to 1,420 sqm Class E(g) commercial space
A rare consented redevelopment site in a quiet rural setting west of the A275, offering outline planning for nine family homes and substantial commercial floorspace. The 3.1-acre site benefits from existing vehicular access, excellent broadband and mobile signal, and proximity to Cooksbridge station and local amenities, making it a practical proposition for developers or investors seeking a semi-rural mixed-use scheme.
Outline planning (LW/22/0688) was granted February 11, 2024, for nine houses (five 3-bed, four 4-bed) totalling c.1,174 sqm and up to 1,420 sqm Class E(g) commercial space. The consented layout shows a residential courtyard with garages and four commercial blocks on the lower ground, taking advantage of the site’s falling levels. The consented sizes and mix are clear selling points for swift marketing to end-users or leaseholders.
The site currently contains derelict glasshouses and agricultural buildings dating back to 1899; these structures are generally in poor condition and will require demolition as part of the consented scheme. Two existing residential units on site are let on assured short hold tenancies (details available on request). There is no affordable housing requirement within the consent, which affects scheme economics.
Buyers should note this is outline consent rather than reserved matters approval — detailed design, landscaping and full technical approvals remain to be submitted. The substantial plot, strong local school options and low-crime, affluent setting make this attractive for residential purchasers and commercial occupiers once detailed consents and build programmes are in place.
