Eastbourne Employment Land Local Plan
The Employment Land Local Plan (ELLP) guides job growth and economic development in Eastbourne up to 2027 as well as identifying an appropriate supply of land for future employment development, in order to achieve a sustainable economy and make Eastbourne a town where people want to live and work. It specifically relates to land and buildings within the B1 (Offices and Light Industry), B2 (General Industry) and B8 (Storage and Distribution) Use Classes.
The ELLP provides a review of the Eastbourne Core Strategy Local Plan Policy D2: Economy following concerns from the Planning Inspector over the amount of employment land required in Eastbourne, and the proposed strategy to deliver that requirement.
Lewes Employment Land Local Plan
Lewes does not have an equivalent ELLP. The Local Plan process combined with the Employment Land Review provides a guide to job growth and economic development in Lewes District.
