The following written question has been received from a Member:
Land East of Marine Gate and the Gasworks
A small plot of council-owned land
in Roedean to the east of Marine Gate and the Gasworks has
been identified for disposal. There are various covenants on the
land restricting development to 16 homes no more than 30 ft
high and preserving access rights and footpaths. 16 homes
that sell for multi-millions will do nothing to solve the
city’s housing crisis.
Please would the council consider keeping this land and using
it for a development that we can all be proud of, for example,
truly eco-homes for low-income residents?
