West Sussex includes Crawley, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, East Grinstead and Chichester and the coastal towns of Worthing, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton, Shoreham-by-Sea and Lancing. It has only a very small area of Green Belt on the Surrey border, but the South Downs National Park and the High Weald and Chichester Harbour National Landscapes cover large parts. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, infill plots and urban brownfield land.

Before we make an offer in East Grinstead

Access rights

Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.

Displaced parking

Councils often want to know where current users will park.

Licences and tenants

Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.

In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 128 miles from East Grinstead, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
