Coverage
Areas we cover in Haywards Heath for fire & smoke alarms
Property styles in Haywards Heath
Victorian and Edwardian bay-fronted houses are common close to the town centre, with 1930s semis, postwar estates and newer developments further out. Rear and side-return extensions are common on the Victorian terraces, while loft conversions suit the steeper roof pitches typical of the era.
Planning considerations
Mid Sussex District Council is the local planning authority. Parts of the town, particularly around the historic centre, fall within a conservation area. Many Victorian terraces also have relatively narrow plots, which affects extension design and can bring party wall matters into play.
