PORT PLAN WITHDRAWN

Oakdene Homes has withdrawn its major planning application for the regeneration of the Marina and Railway areas of Newhaven.

The application was before Lewes District Council and had not been considered by the planning committee.

A statement from the district council said Oakdene's move was to allow preparation of a range of additional information in connection with the proposed development, which is required as part of the planning process.

'This information relates to issues including flood risk assessment and contaminated land.

'It will also allow Oakdene homes to consider the various issues that have been identified during recent public consultation on the application.

'It is expected that Oakdene Homes will submit a fresh application for the proposed development within the next few months and reported to the Lewes District Council's Planning Applications Committee later in the year. The regeneration effort is therefore still going ahead.'
