3. Feedback from 1st Meeting
Analysis of responses indicated some confusion on a number of points:
The tunnel to the beach and the footpath along the base of the embankment are outside the boundary of the site and would remain unaffected by any development
The ‘shingle’ car park is not strictly a public car park; its use is for the Lido site only.
Flats at the Ocean Grand complex which have been completed have mostly been sold; there are some up for sale a second time
The proposals envisage no loss of community facilities at all
The original listed building is not intended for demolition
Saltdean Tavern is outside the site and is not affected
The café would be restored and retained as part of the overall provision
The new facility in the restored listed building would be fully accessible with a lift
The new library would be nearly twice the size of the existing one
