East Grinstead Local Centre, Imberhorne Lane, East Grinstead, RH19 1TX

Description
The site is approximately 81.73 hectares (Ha) total in size, with an additional area of 38.67ha proposed for use as SANG land. The site comprises a number of agricultural fields and hedgerows, which form part of Imberhorne Farm. There are three listed buildings adjacent to the site: Imberhorne Farm (Grade II) and Imberhorne Farm Cottages (Grade II*) inset along the southern site boundary, and Gullege Farm (Grade II) to the western boundary.

The land slopes gradually to a low point, of approximately 90m AOD, along the northern boundary. The site has a gently undulating topography, influenced by a small tributary watercourse which runs from Imberhorne Farm towards the northern boundary of the site.

The boundaries of the site are defined by the Worth Way linear country park and an existing bridleway to the south, Imberhorne Lane, development at the Oaks and the playing fields of Imberhorne Upper School to the east, the Birches Woodland to the north and existing hedgerows, field boundaries and farmland to the west. The bridleway crosses the site east-west, providing access to the Imberhorne Farm House complex, Gulledge House and the Worth Way long distance path (PRoW: 44bEG-1). A permissive public footpath follows the eastern boundary of the site, providing a traffic free link between the bridleway and Imberhorne School.

The local centre forms 1.44 acres (0.54ha) of the overall site and is highlighted on the plan in yellow above.
