Highways

The scheme proposes two new vehicle access points from Crouch Lane to the western edge of the site, whilst retaining the existing pedestrian access to the north.

The proposal includes 31 on-site car parking spaces for McCarthy Stone residents, staff and visitors, including provision of disabled spaces and charging points for electric vehicles. There will be an additional 5 spaces to serve the relocated constitutional club.

The level of parking provision has been discussed with officers at Lewes District Council and takes into account the low levels of traffic generation and car ownership associated with this type of development. Its highly sustainable location will mean most residents will not need to rely on a private vehicle.

We have considered impacts on the local highway network to which there would be negligible impact but further discussions will be held if any road improvement works are required as a result of the development.
