An online survey has been launched to gather the views of Peacehaven residents on what they want for their new town centre on the Meridian site by the Peacehaven and Telscombe Neighbourhood Development Plan Steering Group (PTNDP).
The Co-operative Group is selling its land interest whilst leasing a new building for its store. There will be continuous trading by the Co-op on the site. The redevelopment will be achieved by Henry Davidson Developments Limited (HDD). Soon HDD will commence a series of public participation consultations. A planning application is expected to be submitted to Lewes District Council who are the planning authority by the end of the year.
Cathy Gallagher, Chair of the PTNDP said, “This survey will add to the workshop we held in February and help us ensure that the views of Peacehaven residents for the new town centre are represented. This is a fantastic opportunity to shape the future of our town for generations to come.”
The survey includes an option for residents to rank suggested options including weekend markets, a covered shopping area and a pedestrianised street with options to add ideas. The survey can be completed online here.
The survey is one of several opportunities’ residents will have to put forward their ideas for the new town centre.

Who is responsible for allowing these houses to be built in Peacehaven? Why has no thought been given to lack of facilities here? One doctor's surgery which is unable to cope with the present population. Gridlock most times on coast road. Not enough school places. Where is the logic behind it? After letting the population grow hugely, reduce the size of the supermarket, rid the town of it's police station, allow reduction of doctors and do absolutely nothing to ease congestion.If I wanted to move 30 more people into my home, I would expect to greatly add more facilities, not reduce them. Shame on those who have shown utter disregard for the people of Peacehaven.
