PLANNING
Planning permission was granted by Mid Sussex District Council under application reference DM/24/0537 for:
“Change of use to first and second floors to create 1no. 1 bed flat and studio flat, including alterations and additions to roof.”
This approved scheme allows a purchaser to convert the upper parts of the building into two self-contained residential units; a one bedroom flat and a studio flat, while retaining the ground floor commercial unit, creating an attractive mixed-use investment with both rental and capital growth potential. Full details of the approved plans and any attached conditions can be viewed on Mid Sussex District Council’s online planning register (application ref. DM/24/0537) and should be independently verified by prospective purchasers and their advisers.
