East Sussex Authorities Call for Sites

Monday, 29 September 2025 15:14

Local authorities in East Sussex have been looking for sites to help identify suitable locations for permanent Gypsy and Traveller pitches and Travelling Showpeople plots across the East Sussex area.

The authorities are working together to seek to ensure that the accommodation needs of these communities are met in a fair and sustainable way, in line with national planning policy and local housing strategies.

Site suggestions are being assessed, but more of these are welcomed.
