Two New Housing Developments in Sedlescombe
Two new sites are proposed in Sedlescombe for housing by Rother District Council. One for 38 houses directly across the road from East View Terrace in Brede Lane and one at the end of Gorselands for 15 houses. This is despite sites already approved for about 83 houses none of which have been built. Come along to the exhibition and see how to comment.
The Parish Council are also developing a revised Sedlescombe Neighbourhood Plan (SNP) which will complement and provide local flavour for the Rother District Plan. Let us know if you would like to be involved in this work as a resident or by applying to become a Parish Councillor.
If you would like to find out more speak to one of the councillors or the clerk who will be at the exhibition.

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) have endorsed a new free online course from the Association of Electoral Administrators (AEA) to help anyone thinking of standing as a parish or town councillor.
The course clearly explains what candidates need to know about parish and town council elections, including the key paperwork, deadlines, people involved and how the process works. It covers four short modules on nomination paper, consent to nomination, home address form and final steps.
There’s also a quick knowledge check at the end to reinforce learning. The whole course takes around 20 minutes to complete.
NALC have worked closely with the AEA on its development, including testing the course with input from county officers in early 2026. The result is a practical, easy-to-follow resource designed to give candidates confidence and clarity.
With 343 parish and town council elections taking place on 7 May 2026 across 16 county areas (including Greater London), NALC encourage parish and councils and county associations to promote this free resource widely.
