REASONS

 

5.3       There is a need for storage of bulk materials to be used by Council contractors in Phase 2a of the Eastbourne Town Centre Improvement Scheme. The need for storage close to the works, will reduce transportation and time costs as much as possible. There is a lack of alternative suitable storage space in the surrounding area.
