Following the end of our public consultation on Sunday 14th July 2024, an application will be submitted later this year following the withdrawal of our Outline Planning Application (Reference PL/2023/07107) on the 20th February 2024 (this can be viewed on the Wiltshire Council's website).
The previous application was withdrawn following the adoption of the revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in December 2023, which amended the Policy context within which the application would be considered and determined.
As with the previously withdrawn scheme, this latest application is again for outline consent and proposes the following development:
Outline planning application with all matters reserved except for two pedestrian and vehicle accesses (excluding internal estates roads) from Eastern Way, for the erection of up to 300 dwellings (Class C3); land for local community use or building (incorporating Classes E(b), E(g) and F2(b) and (c)); open space and dedicated play space and service infrastructure and associated works
The number of homes, affordable housing and community facilities remain the same. The main changes are predominately around improved green corridors and buffers along the existing hedgerows to better respect bat foraging routes.
We will update this website on a regular basis as our proposals and our planning application for the site progresses.
In summary the proposals include:
An outline planning application seeks to establish whether the scale and nature of a proposed development would be acceptable to the Council, before a second fully detailed planning application (Reserved Matters) is submitted.
Where outline permission has been granted, and within three years of the outline approval, an application for the outstanding Reserved Matters can be submitted, i.e., the information excluded from the initial outline planning application.
This will include information about the exact layout, scale and appearance of the new homes, as well as the details of the open space and landscaping.
No development can take place on site until the Reserved Matters application has been consented.
Statutory consultees (e.g., Environment Agency and the Highways Authority) and local residents will have the opportunity to formally comment on the application direct with Eastbourne Borough Council
We will continue to work closely with the Council and where necessary will respond to statutory consultees through the planning process.
If planning permission is granted for our proposals, a Community Infrastructure Levy charge per metre of development will be paid to the Council to fund necessary improvements to local infrastructure.
We expect receipts from the Community Infrastructure Levy payment to be directed towards:
We are also investigating the need for additional sports provision locally which could potentially be funded in part or in full as a Section.106 contribution
