Council housing will benefit 'generations' of residents

Lewes District Council has secured 17 new homes on the site of a former pub in Peacehaven.

Chalk View Villas

Work on Chalk View Villas is due to complete in March 2025 and includes one and two-bedroom flats. Since acquiring the unfinished development earlier this year, the council has been finalising all the remaining work required.

Councillor Zoe Nicholson, Leader of Lewes District Council, said:

"I'm delighted that we have been able to secure these new homes.  

"I have spoken many times about my pride in the progress we are making to increase our council housing stock, but equally, I am frustrated knowing how much more we could do if the government gave us the means to make the sort of difference that residents now and generations still to come will benefit from."

At a time when less than 25% of local authorities have built any council housing in the last ten years, Lewes District Council has completed and developed a pipeline of over 250 council properties since 2019, with other social housing projects in the pipeline.

Councillor Laurence O'Connor, Cabinet Member for Planning, said:

"While the housing crisis remains as daunting as ever, find some solace that at Lewes District Council we are increasing the numbers of council homes, whether by developing them ourselves or acquiring high quality developments like Chalk View Villas."
