Linden Homes has acquired an interest in this site and will shortly be submitting a reserved matters planning application to Wealden District Council (WDC). Outline permission for up to 119 new homes on the site, with access, was granted by WDC last year (WD/2017/2197/MAO).
Whilst access into the site and the maximum amount of development have been determined, there remain a number of further elements that need to be approved before development can start, most notably the finalisation of the design, layout and appearance. Our team has been preparing a scheme that is in line with the already approved elements of the site.
We are proposing a design, layout and appearance in keeping with Crowborough and the surrounding High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We are keen to share our proposals with the community and to receive your feedback. While we cannot meet face-to-face to discuss our plans, we still want to take every opportunity to find out what you think.
Our ‘virtual exhibition’ is available to view or download here – it sets out our proposals in detail. Please take your time to review the material, then click on Have Your Say and leave your feedback.

The site is located on the northern edge of Crowborough, to the north of the A26 and to the east of the Leisure Centre. The site is bordered by mature trees and hedgerow, with existing access onto the A26. A number of mature trees and hedgerows are present within the site that have the effect of sub-dividing it into 4 fields.

Linden Homes acquired this site from Fairfax Aquisitions, following the granting of outline planning permision in September 2020 for the development of 119 homes on the site.
Whilst access into the site and the maximum amount of development on site have been determined and approved, there remain a number of further elements that need to be approved by the Council before development can occur, most notably the finalisation of the design, layout and appearance.
Work has therefore been ongoing to prepare a scheme that will accord with the already approved elements of the site, and deliver a development that has a design, layout and appearance in keeping with Crowborough and the surrounding High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Linden Homes is undertaking this consultation exercise to hear your thoughts on the proposals for the site, and to help shape the plans ahead of submission to Wealden District Council.
Linden Homes is a national housebuilder with a reputation for building award winning homes across the UK. We have a network of regional offices from Exeter to Newcastle; this project is being managed by our team based in West Malling.
As the housebuilding division of Vistry Group, we deliver housing for sale on the open market and also for affordable housing providers. We also carry out large scale regeneration projects, many in partnership with Homes England.
We continue to strive for the highest standards in design and construction as our awards success over the years demonstrates.
The site is located on the northern edge of Crowborough, to the north of the A26 and to the east of the Leisure Centre. The site is bordered by mature trees and hedgerow, with existing access onto the A26. A number of mature trees and hedgerows are present within the site that have the effect of sub-dividing it into 4 fields.
New homes
The site will deliver 119 high quality new homes, 35% of which will be much needed new affordable homes.
High quality design
Linden Homes has designed a high quality scheme, which is sympathetic to neighbouring properties and fully in line with the Wealden Design Guide. The plans have been designed to reflect the local vernacular, including a large proportion of detached homes.
A new children's playground
Linden Homes will be delivering a new children's play area at the heart of the site for use by children in both the existing community and new development.
Public open space
A large parcel of public open space will be provided to the east of the site, which could include a circular walk and supplementary fitness trails.
Upgraded bus stops, and improved pedestrian links
The scheme will upgrade two bus stops on Eridge Road and will include a pedestrian link from the development south-eastwards through the open space provision to connect directly to the eastbound bus stop.
Enhancing wildlife
Linden Homes is proposing a series of measures to protect and enhance wildlife on site, including:
Have your say
Your opinions matter and we will work to ensure they are taken into account wherever possible.

If you would like to be sent a physical copy of the feedback form, you can phone 0800 169 6507 or email eridgeroad@secnewgate.co.uk
Next steps
Linden Homes is planning to submit a Reserved Matters planning application to Wealden District Council in March 2021.
The District Council will then conduct its own statutory consultation before determining the application later this year. Once the plans are validated by the Council they will be available to view on the planning portal.

If you are not an immediate site neighbour, but would like to be kept updated on the progress of the plans then you can either fill in your personal details on the feedback form or email the team at eridgeroad@secnewgate.co.uk or by phoning 0800 169 6507
