Is your land in Bexhill-on-Sea the kind we want?
Sites on the edge of Bexhill-on-Sea or the villages nearby can be worth a conversation, especially where they are well connected by road and bus or rail. Sitting about 20 miles east of Lewes, Bexhill-on-Sea is within East Sussex, with Hastings and Hailsham close by.
- Land next to or within an existing town, village or suburb
- Sites with a road frontage or a clear route to one
- Land outside the highest flood risk zones, or where flood risk only affects part of the site
- Sites with or without planning permission, including land promoted in a local plan
East Sussex runs from Brighton and Hove along the coast to Eastbourne, Bexhill and Hastings, with inland towns such as Lewes, Uckfield, Hailsham and Crowborough. There is no Green Belt, but the South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape cover a large share of the county, squeezing development between protected countryside and the sea. Typical sites are small edge-of-town fields, infill plots, garden land and urban brownfield sites.
Checks we make on residential development land in Bexhill-on-Sea
Settlement boundary
Land inside or touching a defined settlement usually has a clearer policy route than isolated land.
Access
A safe vehicle access with adequate visibility is often the single biggest make-or-break item.
Flood risk
We check the official flood maps early; land in the highest-risk zones is rarely suitable for homes.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
East Sussex has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Bexhill-on-Sea are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 155 miles from Bexhill-on-Sea, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
