A sustainable community for Bexhill
Catesby Estates in partnership with Rurban Estates is preparing plans for a high-quality, sustainable residential development on land west of Ninfield Road at Lunsford’s Cross, Bexhill. Identified in Rother District Council’s emerging Local Plan, the site could deliver around 500 new homes, including 30% affordable homes, alongside a neighbourhood hub supporting a local shop and other community facilities.
