The road was originally planned to begin at the cliff, cross the South Coast Road then head north to Firle Road. However, the failure to sell many plots meant the road was undeveloped north of Arundel Road until the 1960s when this northern section was built but not connected to Arundel Road, the likelihood decreasing further when Hoddern Juniour School occupied the site. Subsequently, Rowe Avenue is now a road in four distinct parts, beginning from the cliff top to South Coast Road, the A259; the section between the latter and Arundel Road which had its opening onto the main closed in 1961; a small unmade section north of Arundel Road; and this part between Balcombe and Firle Road. Giving visitors directions to a house on this section would near enough always result in them getting lost.
