Tower plan meeting

Cllr Pat Ost, chairman of the planning committee, said: 'We want to find out what local people think about this proposal before we respond to this application on behalf of the town.

'It will be Lewes District Council, as the local planning authority, who will make a decision on the application, but the town council has a statutory right to be consulted and express the local view.'

Developer Sign of Four held a public exhibition about the proposed Bridge Street building in October and will give a presentation at the meeting.

It will be held at Southdown Junior School, Church Hill, Newhaven, on November 28 at 7.30pm.
