New build homes in Haywards Heath
We have built four new homes across three sites in Haywards Heath, and we take on new builds and small developments across the town.
Our new builds in Haywards Heath
Haywards Heath is where we have built more new homes than anywhere else. Queens Road (‘Shangri-La’) was two modern detached houses, built and landscaped by our team. Next door, the Queens Road 3rd Plot is a three-bedroom, chalet-style detached home designed to sit alongside the first two. At Wivelsfield Road, on the southern side of town, we turned a plot hidden away up a long driveway into a new home.
All three sites are on our projects pages with photos, so you can see the finish before you talk to us.

Plots, gardens and small sites
A lot of new building in Haywards Heath happens on small sites: a large garden split off to make a plot, a back-land site reached down a private drive, or an older house replaced with one or two new homes. These sites are rarely simple. Access for deliveries and machinery, how close the neighbours are, existing trees and hedges, and where drainage can connect all shape the design and the build programme.
Wivelsfield Road is a good example. A long, narrow access drive means planning deliveries, skips and site parking carefully so the job keeps moving without upsetting the neighbours.
Planning and approvals in Haywards Heath
Haywards Heath is in Mid Sussex, so Mid Sussex District Council handles planning applications and building control. A new dwelling always needs full planning permission, and the council will look at the size and layout of the plot, the effect on neighbours, parking, trees and how the design fits the street. Sites in or next to one of the town’s conservation areas, such as Muster Green or The Heath, get closer scrutiny on materials and design.
Most new homes also need to show biodiversity net gain under the Environment Act 2021, although some small sites and self-builds are exempt. Every new home needs Building Regulations approval, and if your build is near a shared boundary the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply. Mortgage lenders and buyers usually expect a new home to come with a structural warranty, so it is worth arranging one before work starts.
How we build a new home
- Site visit and quote. We look at the plot, access and drawings, and give you a clear, free quote.
- Groundworks. Site clearance, foundations designed for the ground, drainage and service connections.
- Shell and roof. Brickwork or blockwork, the structure, roof and windows, so the house is weathertight.
- Fit-out. Electrics, plumbing, plastering, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and decoration by our in-house team.
- Outside. Driveways, landscaping, fencing and patios, so the house is finished as a whole.
We work with homeowners building on their own land, landowners with a plot, and investors and small developers, with one point of contact from the first visit to handover.
Frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission to build a house in my garden?
Yes. A new home always needs full planning permission from Mid Sussex District Council, plus Building Regulations approval.
Can you build on a plot with difficult access?
Often, yes. Our Wivelsfield Road build was up a long private driveway. We plan deliveries, storage and machinery around the access when we quote.
