The length of the list will vary by site and smaller sites will obviously have fewer vacancies per year. You can, if you wish, choose one large site and one small site nearest to your home and apply for both.
Meanwhile, you could apply to be a co-worker for an existing tenant. You might also wish to know about the garden share scheme operated by Transition Town Worthing, or Landshare.
