Eastbourne in East Sussex is a seaside town with Victorian architecture, theatres, and seafront attractions. Planning is primarily urban-focused.
In the last year Eastbourne decided 315 applications which is well below the national average of 988. The approval rate was 90% (roughly equal to the national average of 88%) and 69% of applications were decided on time, (significantly above the national average of 59%). Stats updated March 2026 from gov. sources. See how Eastbourne performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.
The town's proximity to the Pevensey Levels and its position on a low-lying coastal plain means Flood Zone 3 constrains development on the eastern and northern fringes of the borough.

Alongside acting as Planning Consultants we are ARB registered architects with 25+ years of experience. We advise on and prepare planning applications across a range of development types, including:
Creative architectural design is often what secures Planning Permission where standard approaches fall short. Tell us about your project.
