Get StartedSelf-Build, Replacement Dwelling, Or Land Potential
Land with development potential in Shoreham-by-Sea carries a value entirely dependent on what the council would genuinely sign off, worth establishing honestly before committing to detailed design costs or, worse, buying a plot that can’t support what you had in mind.
For self-builders specifically, Shoreham-by-Sea’s local plan may include policies genuinely supporting individual self-build and custom build projects, worth checking rather than assuming standard development policy applies uniformly.
If your Shoreham-by-Sea project grows beyond a single plot or small handful of units, that’s a different conversation entirely, one we can point you toward the right route for.

New Build Planning Permission FAQs for Shoreham-by-Sea
Should I use outline permission instead for my Shoreham-by-Sea project?
If your Shoreham-by-Sea project is a single new home, this is the right route. Multiple dwellings or a larger scheme genuinely fits outline planning permission better instead.
Can I get an exemption from the Community Infrastructure Levy in Shoreham-by-Sea?
Yes, potentially, self-build CIL exemption is a real relief available in Shoreham-by-Sea, but it depends on correct, timely paperwork rather than being automatic.
Do I need planning permission to demolish and rebuild in Shoreham-by-Sea?
A replacement dwelling in Shoreham-by-Sea follows broadly the same application route as new build, though local policy sometimes attaches specific conditions around scale and design compared to what’s being replaced.
Is it worth checking a plot’s potential in Shoreham-by-Sea before buying it?
Absolutely, checking a Shoreham-by-Sea plot’s realistic potential first avoids the costly mistake of committing to land that can’t support what you actually had in mind.
Does Shoreham-by-Sea have policies supporting self-build specifically?
Many local plans, including potentially Shoreham-by-Sea’s, include policies genuinely supporting self-build and custom build projects, worth checking rather than assuming generic development policy applies uniformly.
Does checking my Shoreham-by-Sea plot come with any charge?
Nothing gets charged for looking at your Shoreham-by-Sea plot initially, that step happens purely to establish what’s realistic before fees enter the picture.
