Oakley Land Team Have Commenced Marketing A Development Site with Consent in Haywards Heath
Our Land & Development team have been instructed to invite offers for this rarely available consented Freehold Development site for 17 Flats, situated in Haywards Heath. Say hello to Linden House; steeped in history and primed for modern development.
Linden House is a vacant 3 storey building, originally built as accommodation for nurses working within the adjacent former psychiatric hospital (now converted into houses and apartments).
Location
Located in Mid Sussex, Haywards Heath is an affluent town situated 15 miles north of Brighton and 14 miles to the southeast of Crawley and Gatwick Airport. Central London is approximately 40 miles to the north and the A23 is within 5 miles to the west accessed via the A272.
Haywards Heath mainline railway station offers frequent direct rail services to London terminals and south coast towns. The site is close to the principal shopping thoroughfare (South Road) is adjacent to the Princess Royal Hospital and is accessed just off the A272 via Colwell Road.

History
Southdowns Park comprises an imposing Grade II listed building originally built as a hospital in 1854 and converted into apartments with associated new build houses over the last 20 years. The Linden House site is the last undeveloped plot within the catchment area. Immediately to the east of the site is The Chapel of St Francis Church which is currently used as a childrens day nursery (also Grade II listed).

Planning
Planning permission has been granted, under application DM/23/0890 (subject to the signing of the S106 agreement). Stunningly designed to mirror the surrounding grade 2 listed buildings, which form part of the historic Southdowns Park area, all flats have either ground floor garden areas or balconies. The consented scheme provides for the demolition of the existing building and construction of a new part 3 and part 4 storey building comprising 17 flats with 14 car spaces and designated bin and bike store.
The new building provides 4x 1 bed units, 11x 2 bed units and 2x 3 bed penthouse apartments on the third floor. All upper floor flats feature a balcony area with the ground floor flats having designated garden areas. The penthouses have 3 bedrooms with ensuite facilities and a separate study.
