FoL Response to Human Nature’s latest amendments to the Phoenix Project

The Friends of Lewes have now submitted their comments on the above project, which are now available on the Planning Portal (SDNP/23/00526/OUT).

In preparing this response, as the Friends of Lewes, the Society not only has to assess the details of the proposal, but also how the proposed new development will impact on the existing town and in particular how it will integrate at specific locations.

The remaining outstanding concern is the proposed location of the “Co Mobility Hub”, which is effectively a multi storey car park, so close to Phoenix Causeway. Furthermore, there seems to be limited potential for providing any good quality public realm at this important entrance to Lewes Town Centre.
