“BH2025/00834 - Saltdean United Football Club and Playing Fields, Saltdean Vale, Saltdean, Brighton - Removal or Variation of Condition…”

“Councillor Sheard was informed that the 2021 planning permission has been slow to implement as the conditions have taken time to agree, however, the scheme was making good progress now.”

“Councillor Earthey was informed by the agent that the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) rating was ‘excellent’ when considering the clubhouse only and ‘good’ when the football pitches were included. It was noted that the club undertook the BREEAM submissions.”

“Councillor Shanks was informed that it was not possible to support community groups to achieve BREEAM rating, however, Environment officers could advise.”

“Councillor Cattell stated that they had been through BREEAM training and considered it expensive and complicated, and therefore difficult for community groups. The councillor did not consider that Council staff are qualified to assist.”

“Councillor Theobald was satisfied with the application and considered that a BREEAM rating of ‘good’ was good enough. The councillor supported the application.”

“A vote was held, and the committee agree unanimously to grant planning permission.”

“RESOLVED: That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in the report and resolves to GRANT planning permission subject to the Conditions and Informatives in the report.”
