Why buy a building plot in East Sussex
South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape protect a large part of East Sussex, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning.
952 people were on East Sussex's council self-build registers at October 2024. Councils must grant enough permissions to meet that demand, so registering with your council as well as with us is worth doing.
Planning is decided by 6 councils in East Sussex, so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.
