Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to boundary changes, losing the town of Uckfield to the newly created constituency of East Grinstead and Uckfield. It will gain the smaller town of Heathfield in part compensation and will be renamed Sussex Weald, to be first contested at the next general election.
