This 1.71-acre freehold parcel at the north‑east edge of Sayers Common offers clear development potential with permission in principle (PIP) allowed on appeal for part of the site for up to five dwellings (appeal ref. APP/D3830/W/25/3361729, granted 2 Oct 2025). The plot is largely level, partly cleared, and benefits from mature boundary tree belts that provide natural screening and a rural outlook while maintaining road frontage and apparent vehicular access from Mill Lane.
The PIP secures the principle of housing-led development but is only the first stage: a purchaser must submit a technical details consent application for layout, services, drainage and design. Important practical matters remain unresolved on the current evidence — services connections, precise access/load-bearing capacity, and legal boundaries must be confirmed and may affect deliverability and costs.
Location is convenient for regional transport links: the adjacent A23 connects south to Brighton (c. 11.5 miles) and north to the M23/Gatwick (c. 16.75 miles). Nearby Hurstpierpoint is 2.5 miles and Burgess Hill 5 miles. Local amenities and several schools (including high‑ranking independent options nearby) add buyer appeal. Note also limited broadband speeds and average mobile signal in the area, and typical village-level crime and services.
This plot suits a buyer aiming to take a site through the technical consent stage and on to construction — small‑scale residential developers or investors prepared to fund surveys, detailed design and services work. The PIP offers a significant advantage over an entirely unconstrained greenfield site, but a purchaser should allow budget and time for the second-stage approvals and site investigations.
