Is your land in Crawley the kind we want?
Across Crawley, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. In West Sussex, Crawley sits about 32 miles north-east of Chichester; Horley and Horsham are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Parking courts behind houses
- Small service yards and compounds
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
Water neutrality advice that held up many schemes around Crawley, Horsham and Chichester was withdrawn from 1 November 2025, though water efficiency remains important. Chichester Harbour and the coastal plain bring flood risk and mitigation considerations, while the Brighton Main Line and A23 corridor focus growth around Crawley and Burgess Hill.
What usually makes or breaks it
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 124 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
