LAND AT THE REAR OF WIVELSFIELD ROAD

The South Downs National Park Planning Commity ruled in June 2017 that no permanent structures can be built within the boundary of the STNP. They also confirmed that change of usage for the land from agiracultrial use to residential gardens would not be granted. They are continueing to work on their policies regarding land on the urban fringe.

NORTH SALTDEAN RECREATION SPACE

This area is the land at the end of Saltdean Vale accessed by the bridle path.

Within this area is Saltdean Football Club and through Rights of Way leads out to The South Downs National Park.

The SRA is linking with Brighton & Hove City Council and various local and national organisations to ensure that public and community rights are safe guarded.

FRIENDS OF SALTDEAN GREEN SPACES

Every community needs to support it's local authority with voluntary special interest groups. In recent years with cuts to Councils budgets and the pressure to build on green field lands the Deans area has been experiencing exceptional pressures. Developments bring more people, more cars, more pollution. To maintain well being people especially children need space to play, take part in sports, exercise themselves and their dogs in a traffic free space. Nature and wildlife needs habitats to thrive and maintain the foodchain.

A new group has been formed please contact the Residents' Association for more information and to join in!
