Letter published by the West Sussex County Times, 12 May 2016:
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.
