Plans submitted for new supermarket in Eastbourne

Two applications, submitted by Iceland, could see a new Food Warehouse supermarket open at 3-5 Lottbridge Drove.

The applications seeks to convert the existing industrial building, formerly occupied by The Range which moved into Admiral Park in February 2025, into the new Food Warehouse supermarket.

The first application seeks to modify the existing building, construct a plant cage and bin store, AC plant installation, a new front screen and single door to the existing brick compound, and four new holes in the external wall for plant pipework.

The second application is for the approval to install external branding and advertising which includes permission to fit two internally illuminated fascia signs and one non-illuminated fascia sign, adding an external touch to the store's future appearance.

The Food Warehouse, which forms part of the Iceland brand was launched in 2014, with around 150 stores open across the country.
