A screening application has been made to Wealden District Council to build homes on land east of Battle Road in Hailsham.
The application submitted by Fernham Homes is to find out if the land requires an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to build on, prior to a full application being made.
If successful, the land measuring 16.5 hectares would see 200 homes built including 35% affordable housing.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is used to assess the significant effects a development proposal has on the environment.
They make sure that project decision-makers think about the likely effects on the environment at the earliest possible time and aim to avoid, reduce or offset those effects it might have.
The application can be viewed on the Wealden District Council website using the reference WD/2022/6508/SO.
