East Grinstead's High Street is one of the best-preserved medieval streets in Sussex, lined with timber-framed and Georgian-fronted buildings, while the wider town includes Victorian terraces, 20th-century suburbs and newer estates. The town sits close to Ashdown Forest and the Weald countryside that gives the region its name.

Planning considerations
