P Burgess has submitted a housing development application to Lewes District Council on behalf of J and M Rigden and Lewis and Co Planning, which faces opposition from local residents in Seaford. Cllr Lesley Boniface intends to object, highlighting the area's importance for biodiversity and its role in flood defense.

She advocates for the land to be designated as 'Local Green Space' to ensure planning law protection. The developer claims the site will be better suited for residential use, contributing to housing supply while enhancing wildlife and local green space.
