Given current house prices, let's hope so. Plus it's a major improvement to the area (extra traffic issues aside).

@TT Do you really believe the worlds going to end ? Every other town in the country is changing, modernising, growing, expanding, Lewes has stood dormant for centuries, its not a museum piece and has to get with the program, and will. For better or worse.

Bert- I didn't suggest whether I was for or against the development purely interested if whether anyone knew it was going to continue given the interesting economic times in which we live. As you know one developer previously sank without trace. As an aside I am fairly confident the world will continue for a little while longer. Your sanctimonious input has not been welcomed

Of course its going to happen. These sort of developments take years to progress through planning negotiations, finance arrangements, all sorts of environmental investigations, etc etc. Its not like knocking up a Premier Inn on a clean site. Less of the attitude please. I expect you can read this either way too, if you chose to.

Once the Malling Brooks work is finished firms such as Gosnells will be able to move out and the groundworks will start. According to Clive Wilding in a Lilongwe piece in The Times recently work will be starting in the next month or so. There are plenty of people at work on the project using the Phoenix House offices on North Street. People on This Forum regularly trot out this sort of conjecture without troubling themselves to find out first.

The comment that ‘Lewes has stood dormant for centuries’ is a bit of an exaggeration! 100 years ago you wouldn’t have seen many houses at Landport, Nevill or Malling and you would have had a long wait for a room at the Premier Inn.

I gave my observations on this development early in 2017 stating that for various reasons NSQ would not go any further. The “panama papers” also revealed one of the backers was outed as a dodgy organisation. As LDC has failed to obtain any assurances about the development this last year they should abort the agreement and offer to a realistic investor.

I wrote many months ago about the land being sold on as a brownfield for a gated community of executive homes for investment, where the sops to the previous freeloading land users would be scrapped because they're of no benefit whatsoever to the next developer. In close proximity to a Waitrose, a riverside walk and a railway station, and with areas for parking cars, the development is to be aggressively marketed in the City of London and in selected high-value overseas property investment areas of success. It will sell in a matter of days. I told you so.

Sorry Jennifer, but it’s not a financial viable site if the original social planning requirements have to be complied with..
