Summary - OLD ORCHARD HOUSE HOREBEECH LANE HORAM HEATHFIELD TN21 9DZ
1 bed 1 bath Plot
Large greenfield site with permissions for 38 homes near Horam village.
Outline and reserved matters consent for 38 dwellings granted
A substantial greenfield parcel on the edge of Horam, offered with outline and reserved matters consent for 38 dwellings (34 houses, 4 apartments). The site benefits from an established permission (APP/C1435/W/22/3297371; WD/2023/1585/MRM) and a number of conditions already discharged, reducing early-stage risk for a developer or forward‑sale housebuilder. The council has accepted a commuted sum (£1,569,247) in lieu of on‑site affordable housing, allowing all units to be marketed as open‑market homes.
Positioned adjacent to Horebeech Lane and the Cuckoo Trail, the land sits approximately a 12‑minute walk from Horam High Street and its local amenities, with good road links to the A267. The parcel is largely undeveloped with scrub and marshy patches and borders agricultural and wooded land, offering countryside outlooks that will suit buyers seeking a semi‑rural setting. The vendor estimates CIL at c. £528k; VAT is not applicable on the sale.
Practical sale conditions and known constraints are disclosed: the sale excludes a ransom strip to the east and west boundaries (unfettered access beyond that ransom must be maintained), rights to connect services are to be provided at no cost to the vendor, and an overage of £35,000 per unit applies if the dwelling total exceeds the consented number. Exchange is expected within 21 days of contract documentation with a 10% deposit. Prospective purchasers should confirm service connections and perform their own due diligence on remaining conditions and technical reports.
This plot is best suited to developers or investors seeking a permitted, market‑facing small scheme in an affluent rural fringe location. The combination of consented layout, commuted sum for affordable housing and proximity to local transport and amenities shortens the delivery pathway — but purchasers must allow for site preparation (marshy patches), CIL, and the contractual sale terms noted above.
