Meanwhile revised proposals for 100 homes on the former Bedfordwell Road Depot site in Eastbourne were supported in August.

Eastbourne also saw 60 homes approved at the former Gate Court Dairy building in Waterworks Road and 49 homes at the former Woods Cottage site off Langney Rise.

In Hastings, a council-led development in Hollington was given the green light in February and a new apartment building in London Road was allowed on appeal in September.
