Simon Kirby, MP for Kemptown & Peacehaven seeks clarification on Meadow Vale development in Ovingdean.
Simon has contacted the Chief Executive of the South Downs National Park Authority to seek clarification as to what contact the Authority has had with developers Lightwood Property and Pegasus Planning Group Ltd, regarding sites in the Ovingdean, Rottingdean and Woodingdean area.
Simon said: “This issue is hugely important to local people, this is clear in my post bag every day and I continue to stand side by side with residents seeking to protect this valuable green space.
I am seeking clarification from the South Downs National Park Authority as to what, if any, communications they have had with either Lightwood Strategic or Pegasus Planning Group, regarding sites in the Ovingdean Woodingdean and Rottingdean area.”
He continued: “It is important that any discussions surrounding the future of these important areas of green land are as transparent as possible.”
Simon maintains he has consistently called on the City Council to prioritise brownfield sites, city centre sites and reconsider sites such as Shoreham harbour to meet housing targets rather than develop of green belt sites.Support independent LGBTQ+ journalism
