Stop Overdevelopment in Sussex Weald: Protect Our Communities, Services & Green Spaces

Over 10,000 houses proposed or approved between East Hoathly and East Chiltington . Uckfield has Ridgewood farm incomplete and only about a third of it completed after five or more years. Space for 1000 with planningermission. 4000 At East Hoathly, 1900 at Owlssbury farm in Uckfield , 190 at Bird in Eye Farm approved and another 4,200 at North Barns Farm , Plumpton, and another big build at Goldbridge Farm at Newick. Zero ifrastructure, poor water supply and reserves, strea,s / rivers already polluted with 35 sewage treatment works already discharging into the Ouse and unsafe to go in the water at Barcombe . where will it all end !

Infrastructure first. Only develop without loss of agricultural land and green spaces. Protect community land at all costs.

All over the South of England our countryside is being destroyed. We cannot get it back once its gone and the government realises the mistake that it has been made. We should not put up with this

Successive administrations have totally ignored brownfield sites. The only reason for this, I can see, is the obvious one

This has to stop. There is now too much housing! Greed is killing our beautiful countryside. There are plenty of brownfield sites to use for housing.

It is time to stop this wave of overdevelopement in East Sussex! It is founded on greed and not necessity! Our woodland and yrees need protection as does our threatened wildlife. Our fields should be used for growing food so we bring in less from abroad.

There are still empty and derelict properties why not repurpose these

Please please consider using brownfield sites, and the planning permissions that have already been granted but not used.

This at least needs to be discussed

We do not need all these new houses. Who are they for? Local families in need of homes? Londoners wanting country living but hating it and wanting to change? Illegal invaders getting housed for free by government with increased crime and safety concerns? No agreements signed to increase provision of school places, water supply, sewerage, drainage, GP surgery.

It’s Just awful ….. everything about these developments is not right … infraestructure , services , environment , community ….

I live next door in Lewes District and we are facing the same issues. Impossible housing targets/changing rules, leading to an out of date Local Plan, and a convenient loop hole for developers (and party donors) to cash in. Roads, education, healthcare in the area cannot cope with the levels of development and applications are simply full of lies about how ‘sustainable’ they are! Population data does not support the need for this many homes in our area and migration data shows high levels of in-flow from other (more expensive) places such as London - these are not local homes for local people! Many around me remain unsold, in addition to those sitting for years with permission, but not being built. This has got to stop now before Sussex is further ruined!

This over development has to stop

We already have developments with houses that are unsold. More attention needs placing on Brownfield sites and the permissions that have not been built yet.

We’ve had enough stop destroying sussex

Destruction of countryside with development and no valid infrastructure solution

I live in Wealden and am horrified at the rape of our countryside by successive governments! Unfortunately I live in Herstmonceux so my politician is in Hastings and Rother!

There has to be accountability by water companies and council to make current planning permissions be built out first before new permissions given and the water companies need to be able to say no when capacity on the system is reached.

Pausing major planning decisions until those already approved are built out will ensure the impact of those are known, including how they meet local housing need will ensure opportunistic developers can’t take advantage of the lack of Local Plan and apparently inadequate 5 year land supply.

Just stop concreting over our precious countryside while we have some high weald left for future generations to enjoy...the low weald has been annihilated...the uk has the lowest biodiversity in the world and once its gone its never coming back.
