About East Dean

East Dean and Friston is a civil parish located in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. Nestled in a dry valley on the South Downs, it lies three miles from both Eastbourne and Seaford, with the A259 road running through its village centres. The National Trust owns much of the coastal land between these towns, effectively limiting further development in the area, making it an attractive location for those interested in planning applications related to conservation and rural development. The parish was established on 1 April 1999, combining the former parishes of East Dean and Friston. It sits within the East Dean and Friston district.
