Land off Riccards Lane, Whatlington, East Sussex
Whatlington
A rare opportunity to acquire an attractive approximately 0.7-acre plot occupying a wonderful rural position, with open countryside views and its own gated access.
The site benefits from a substantial amount of work already undertaken as part of a previous planning application for one dwelling. Whilst that application was ultimately unsuccessful, the site has progressed through a detailed planning process and a significant level of technical investigation has already been completed, including drainage, ecology and biodiversity, agricultural, highways and transport assessments, together with associated survey work.
Importantly, an independent planning opinion letter is currently available setting out the areas that would need to be addressed or amended as part of a revised application. Whilst there can of course be no guarantee of an approval, the potential for a dwelling remains and a redesigned scheme, supported by further technical work, may provide a viable route towards planning permission.
As an alternative to residential development, the site may also offer potential for recreational use, subject to the necessary planning and any relevant consents. With its attractive rural setting, woodland, private access and far-reaching countryside views, the land could lend itself particularly well to a small-scale camping/glamping or leisure use, providing an opportunity to enjoy the setting in a different way should a purchaser decide not to pursue residential development.
The setting is a particularly appealing feature of the site, with far-reaching countryside views and an elevated parcel of woodland providing an attractive natural backdrop. The woodland itself is raised and enjoys a commanding outlook over the surrounding landscape and towards the observatory.
With its rural setting, private gated access, approximately 0.7 acres of land, open views and considerable technical work already completed, this represents an interesting opportunity for a purchaser looking to acquire a potential future building plot.
Please note: The land is offered without the benefit of current planning permission for a dwelling. The previous application was unsuccessful and any future development would be subject to the submission and approval of a new/revised planning application. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves regarding the planning history, technical information and future planning potential of the site.
