Sea Stores housing development set to go ahead after all

As we reported in September, the Sea Stores development was held up by a claim by previous owners of the land. The development of 250 homes is now back on the rails again after the claim was rejected. The Gazette gives more details of the Sea Stores claim here.

Before the hold-up there had been consultations agreement on a "concept statement" setting out a general idea of what would go on the site. The next step will be for the government to find a buyer for the site and for the new owner to apply for outline and then detailed planning permission. These stages will provide more opportunities for comment - we'll keep you posted when something happens.
