Appellant: Mr Peter and Robert Vine

Appeal Reference: APP/C1435/W/22/3293970

Planning Reference: WD/2021/0174/MEA

Inquiry opens: 6 September 2022

Proposal: Outline application with all matters reserved except for the means of access from Eastbourne Road for the comprehensive development of a mixed-use urban extension comprising up to 700 dwellings including affordable housing, 8,600 sq.m. of employment floorspace, medical centre, school, community centre, retail, playing fields, children’s play space, allotments, amenity open space, internal access roads, cycle and footpath routes, and associated landscaping and infrastructure.

Update – 24 August 2022

The inquiry will be proceeding as scheduled with a reduction in the number of expected sitting days. The Inspector considers the scheduled sitting days on 13 September and 15-17 November will no longer be required. 

As there are no main parties opposing the appeal, the inquiry will hear a brief opening statement from the Appellant only.  This will be followed by representations from interested parties.

The Appellant’s witnesses can then be called to give their evidence in turn (which can be taken briefly under the circumstances), with an opportunity for interested parties and the Inspector to ask questions.

The normal conditions and obligations session will take place, before closing submissions.
