Greenspace Proposal
EASTLING VILLAGE GREENSPACE
Since as early as the 1960s there has been an aspiration to provide an area of village greenspace on the field opposite The Street.
For such a proposal to come to fruition a number of factors have to be met:
- The landowner needs to be willing to make the site available.
- Finances have to be in place, both to establish the site and to maintain it.
- Planning permission for a change of use needs to be secured.
- The proposal requires the support of the village, including those living in close proximity to the site.
In 2024, the Parish Council established a Working Group to see if all four of the above factors could be met. Although the Working Group deemed that the first three could be achieved, the proposal failed to meet the fourth.
A considerable amount of work went into the feasibility and design of a potential green space. Rather than waste this work it is saved here for reference should the proposal resurface in the future.
Any costs shown are based on 2024 figures.
