Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would, by reason of the loss of an open area of land that makes a positive contribution to the openness, character and appearance of the Langney Rise area, result in an unsympathetic form of development that would erode a valued break within the built-up environment and undermine the quality of the local townscape. The development would also result in the unjustified loss of undesignated open space used for informal recreation and play, with insufficient evidence to demonstrate that the land is surplus to requirements or that equivalent provision would be secured. The benefits of the proposal would not outweigh the perceived harms. As such, the proposal fails to represent well-designed development and would be contrary to National Development Management Policies DM3, DP3 and HC7 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026, together with Policies B2, D9 and D10a of the Eastbourne Core Strategy 2013 and Policies UHT4, UHT8 and NE28 of the Eastbourne Borough Plan 2003

From the council's decision notice.
