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.
Letter: The impact of infrastructure defecit
Written by Roger F SmithLetter, published by the West Sussex County Times, 31 March 2016:
Sir,
Infrastructure deficit is likely to result in worse lives both for ourselves and future generations
The District Council has again deferred submitting its draft District Plan to the Planning Inspectorate for public examination. Late substantive amendments to its proposals significantly to increase the District’s housing target and to allocate for a 600 home development a site within the High Weald AONB near to Pease Pottage – a site that the Council itself had described last summer as “very unsuitable” for housing – have proved to be very controversial. We await the submission version of the draft Plan with mixed interest and trepidation. Meanwhile, MSDC’s Head of Economic and Planning has announced that she is leaving.
