Eastbourne in East Sussex is a seaside town with Victorian architecture, theatres, and seafront attractions. Planning is primarily urban-focused. We can advise and support residential, commercial, and extension projects throughout Eastbourne.
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.
