Why buy land in West Sussex
West Sussex farms a mix: 50% grass and 19% cereals across 1,301 commercial holdings, with about 36,200 cattle and 99,300 sheep. Both grazing and cropping are established here, so most kinds of holding have a market around them.
South Downs National Park, the Chichester Harbour National Landscape, and the High Weald National Landscape protect a large part of West 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.
Planning is decided by 7 councils in West Sussex, so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.

- Can I build on or live on land in West Sussex?
- It depends on planning.

Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning. Our guides cover what agricultural permitted development allows and when you need full permission.

- I'm selling land in West Sussex. How do I reach these buyers?
- Check how many buyers match yours first, which is free. To advertise, owners pay a flat £59 for six months, or £29 where fewer than 5 buyers match, and every matching buyer is emailed once the advert is live. There is no commission.
