What we’re following

This page launches with the two town-wide processes closest to a confirmed next step. We will add individual planning applications and infrastructure projects after checking the primary documents. Dates described as “expected” are published timetables, not guarantees.

Eastbourne Local Plan 2022–2042

Next stage expected

The Regulation 18 consultation closed on 10 April 2026. The published timetable says a final version is expected to go to a further consultation in autumn 2026 before submission for independent examination. The draft identifies capacity for an average of 301 homes a year, against the Government figure of 714, and prioritises brownfield and accessible locations.
