About our proposals
The Government requires Mid Sussex District Council to deliver a quantum of new homes per year across the district to meet local needs. As you may be aware, Mid Sussex District Council is in the process of concluding its Local Plan which sets the development blueprint for both new homes, and infrastructure in the local area up to 2039. As part of this process, the site at Land West of Kemps was allocated as site DPA12, for 90 new homes. We are now in the process of preparing a planning application for new homes on this site.
Our initial proposals show a new access via Sunleigh Court, and 90 new homes located throughout the site, with gardens backing onto neighbouring properties, a water attenuation feature, a play area and informal outdoor space. 90 new homes are in a range of sizes and styles to help people move onto, and up the housing ladder, and for older people to downsize. The development also includes 30% affordable homes.
Share your feedback on our proposals by Thursday 10 July 2025.

New bird and bat boxes will be provided on homes and trees to ensure an environmentally friendly development providing a Biodiversity Net Gain of at least 10% across the site.
We will protect and enhance the wildlife corridor to the south of the site and provide links to existing rights of way. We are also proposing play provision for children to enjoy.
