This could mean that the land could be used for development purposes. please see below planning reference number for your consideration

Staplecross is a village in the civil parish of Ewhurst and the Rother district of East Sussex, England. Staplecross is the largest settlement in Ewhurst parish, and is on a southern ridge of the valley of the River Rother which flows through Bodiam at the north of Staplecross.[1] The village is in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In 2011 it had a population of 760.
Staplecross is 24 miles (40 km) east-northeast from the county town of Lewes, and 3 miles (5 km) east from the A21 road, which in East Sussex runs north to south from Flimwell to Hastings. It is on the B2165 road which runs from the Ewhurst parish village of Cripps Corner, 1,500 yards (1,400 m) to the south, to Beckley, 4 miles (6 km) to the east. While in Staplecross the B2165 locally becomes Northiam Road. The village is centred on the junction of Northiam Road, and Bodiam Road which runs to Bodiam Castle, 2 miles (3 km) to the north.

The successful bidder is contractually required to exchange on the property on or before the expiry of 20 working days from the end of the auction (unless otherwise stated in the "Other Key Info" section in the listing above). All properties sold by conditional auction are sold subject to a reservation fee which is clearly stated in the terms and conditions attached to the property and in the bidding box before a bid is placed. The reservation fee is payable in addition to the final purchase price and is received on a non-refundable basis, subject to the terms of the Reservation Agreement. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the winning buyer is automatically charged a reservation fee and agrees prior to making their bid, to pay any outstanding amount of the property reservation fee immediately at the end of the auction. The auctioneer will be authorised to sign the reservation agreement on both the buyer’s and seller’s behalf. If by the seller’s act, exchange does not occur on or before the expiry of 20 working days from the end of the auction (unless otherwise stated in the "Other Key Info" section in the listing above), the reservation fee shall be fully refunded to the buyer. If the buyer fails to exchange on or before the expiry of 20 working days from the end of the auction (unless otherwise stated in the "Other Key Info" section in the listing above), they will forfeit the full amount of the reservation fee.Fees paid to the Auctioneer may be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property and be included in the calculation for stamp duty liability. Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.
