Chailey is a large village and civil parish in the Lewes District of East Sussex on the A275 road. It is home to Chailey Common, a 417 acre Site of Special Scientific Interest and part of a Local Nature Reserve.

Chailey’s central location makes the site easily accessible from the nearby towns of Lewes, Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath.

The county town of Lewes lies to the south an important communications hub, and tourist-orientated town. Tourism is an important part of the town’s economy, because of its location and many historic attractions.

Nearby Burgess Hill has seen rapid development in recent years as its population expanded and it was once the fastest growing town in the region. Several new housing estates and link roads have been built in Burgess Hill in the last 30 years.

A new development in the south east of the town is nearing completion, becoming the latest in a steady chain of development that also includes two new council estates; adding to the ever rising population of the town.

With the proposed housing quota for the area high, it is expected to grow further still and new housing will be created in the town centre in the form of flats as a result of redevelopment plans.

There are also plans to massively redevelop Burgess Hill Town Centre. This is part of a larger scheme that will also see the redevelopment of Haywards Heath.

Haywards Heath is a commuter town with many of the residents commuting daily via rail to London, Crawley or Gatwick for work. It too has seen recent and continuing development, including 780 new homes on a Greenfield site now known as Bolnore Village.

A further 685 homes are due to be built in the final phases of Bolnore Village. This major development also requires the construction of a relief road for the town, which will re-route the A272 south of the town centre.

New homes are also expected to be built in the town centre which also has plans to be modernised by the Local District Council.

The coastal town of Brighton is easily reached by road or rail. Eight million tourists visit Brighton each year to enjoy its seafront that has many bars, restaurants, nightclubs and amusement arcades. It is also home to two universities.
