Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

Development on this site should:

• Provide 25% affordable housing in line with policy SP2
• A vacant building credit will be applied to this site subject to criteria being met (see: National Planning Practice Guidance on vacant building credits)
• Retain and restore Gambier House and West House buildings together with infill development, or demonstrate how demolition provides a better design response
• Consider proposals that include removal of unsympathetic or out of keeping additions to the buildings in order to  better reveal the original design as this will be supported
• Ensure the existing access point is utilised
• Not include development beyond the southernmost point of the existing buildings as it will not be permitted
• Provide public open space to the south of the site
• Avoid or mitigate against adverse impacts on the adjacent Caves Road Cliffs Local Wildlife Site
• Sustain and enhance the setting of the Grosvenor Gardens Conservation Area
• Provide innovative solutions for any necessary on-site parking that do not dominate the site
• Have discharge rates agreed with the Pevensey & Cuckmere Water Level Management Board (PCWLMB) prior to granting of permission. This site also has a high groundwater table and drainage design should be informed by onsite monitoring
