Scamps Hill, Lindfield Going forward 30 Introduction
Gladman are working with the Trustees of Walstead Grange to promote land off Scamps Hill, Lindfield for residential development as part of the Site Allocations DPD. The 10 hectare site represents an ideal opportunity to continue growth in Lindfield and develop a high quality, sustainable residential scheme that would make an important contribution to meeting housing needs in the District.
Gladman Land is a privately funded, family run business with over 30 years’ experience in the land and development industry. From our beginnings in housebuilding, through to commercial and industrial properties, we have a solid history of delivering sites quickly.
We enter into transparent Promotion Agreements with landowners rather than the more complex Option Agreements and thoroughly review a site’s viability before entering into an agreement. This ensures that our proposals can provide the full policy compliant affordable housing requirement and CIL compliant planning obligations when an application is submitted.
