Planning committee

Decided by Eastbourne Borough Council Planning Committee on 11 Aug 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Refused unanimously

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers recommended approval because the two homes would provide housing without unacceptable harm to the area, neighbours, highways, heritage, flooding or ecology.
  • Objections concerned parking, highway safety, noise, density, character, overbearing effects, drainage and private amenity space.
  • The committee unanimously refused the application because of its impact on amenity and the character of the area.
