An 85-home development on greenfield land between Ovingdean, Rottingdean and Woodingdean has been dismissed at appeal.
The application to build 85 homes at Meadow Vale was rejected by Brighton and Hove City Council’s planning committee last year, but the developers, Lightwood Strategic, appealed the decision.

The Sussex countryside has never been under greater threat and we are now recruiting new volunteers to help with our vital work to protect it. CPRE Sussex is a small but highly effective charity which relies on a dedicated team of people bringing their skills and time to work with us in protecting and enhancing our beautiful rural landscapes. Join us in this important and rewarding work!
Access to the beautiful Combe Valley has now been opened - with a massive scar! How long will it take to heal? Ten years? Even longer. You could also call it a rape as well. Whips cowering in plastic sleeves will produce no effective landscaping impact for at least ten years - they were planted AFTER the road was built, and not before, as we had urged , once the go ahead to build was given. And who can tell when the biodiversity they destroyed during the construction will return? It will have also to contend with the pollution the road engenders.
Could this devastation in the name of roads be a template for other proposals along the South Coast A 27 corridor?
