planningThe Mid Sussex District Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA 2018) identified this area west of Burgess Hill, as a medium to long term potential development area. The report stated “there is a reasonable prospect that site could be developed within the plan period”. The plan period covers up until 2031.
The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q permits the conversion of agricultural buildings to residential dwellings. Some of these buildings may not qualify under Class Q because they are equestrian, not agricultural. However, planning refusals on these grounds are sometimes overturned on appeal.
The Council have a policy within its 2004 local plan that relates to the re-use of these rural buildings into alternative business uses.
