Introduction
More than just new homes for Rudgwick
Welbeck Land is excited to present proposals for a thoughtfully designed landscape-led residential development on land north of Guildford Road, Rudgwick.
Following consultation with the Council, local stakeholders and residents the development aims to provide up to 90 new homes, including 40% affordable housing, alongside promoting sustainable living through public open green space, a new play area, community orchard and new footpaths enhancing connectivity.
The application has now been submitted to Horsham District Council and can be viewed on the Council’s planning portal using the application reference number: DC/25/1269.

The site
Site location
The site is a rectangular parcel, consisting of two pastoral fields on the western side of Rudgwick. It is set within a rural landscape characterised by scattered villages, individual houses, and farmsteads.
The surrounding vegetation includes woodland belts, hedgerows, and mature oak trees along the field boundaries, creating a well-enclosed screened setting. The site features mature tree belts along its western, southern, and eastern edges, as well as a tree-lined internal boundary and scattered trees throughout, providing further screening.
Guildford Road forms most of the site’s southern boundary, with various amenities located in walking and cycling proximity, including a pub, car dealership, garage, children’s indoor play area, and residential properties. To the southeast, the site adjoins residential properties fronting Guildford Road, and to the east, it borders playing fields and sports pitches associated with Pennythorpe Preparatory School.
