An old village with a conservation area
The Street, Warninglid's historic core, forms the focus of a conservation area and includes a number of buildings dating back to the 16th century, some of which are listed for their architectural or historic interest.
Where a property sits within that conservation area, permitted development rights can be more limited than elsewhere, so it's worth checking with Mid Sussex District Council before assuming a garage conversion won't need an application.
Part of the wider Slaugham parish
Along with Handcross, Pease Pottage and Slaugham village itself, Warninglid is one of four settlements that make up Slaugham civil parish, though it keeps a distinct identity of its own, having been recognised as a Best Kept Village on more than one occasion.
Council and distance from Horsham
