The "*agent any*" declaration at the top level of your pipeline indeed
allocates an executor for the whole pipeline.
You can avoid this allocation with something like :

pipeline {
    agent none
    parameters {
        choice(choices: 'SIT\nUAT', description: 'What environment?', name:
'environment')
    }
    stages {
        stage ('build') {
            agent any
            tools {
                maven 'm3'
            }
            steps {
                echo 'build it.'
                sh "mvn --version"
            }
        }
        stage ('test') {
            steps {
                echo 'test it.'
                input 'Ready to go?'
            }
        }
        stage('deploy to sit') {
            steps {
                echo 'push it to dev.'
            }
        }
        stage("deploy to uat") {
            steps {
                echo 'push it to uat.'
            }
        }
    }
}

Or instead of *tools* section, you may prefer the *withMaven* syntax :

...
stage ('build') {
    agent any
    steps {
        echo 'build it.'
        withMaven(maven: 'm3') {
            sh "mvn --version"
        }
    }
}
...
