New owners of Benfield Valley have invited residents to a public consultation to build up to 100 new homes.
Proposals by Hollybrook Homes for the site in Hangleton in Hove include plans to restore the historic Benfield Barn, invest in recreation facilities and deliver the city’s local plan housing allocation, including 40 per cent affordable.
David Godden from Hollybrook Homes said: “We have appointed a leading design team including architects, planners, environmentalists, heritage conservationists and landscape designers to generate ideas that will enhance the local environment and recreation in this area, whilst also delivering much-needed homes.
“We would like to show our ideas for Benfield Valley and hear the views of the local community and interest groups.”
Plans to build homes in Benfield Valley have proven controversial, with campaigners describing the area as the “last green lung in Hove” and calling for the space to be protected as a nature reserve.
The drop-in exhibition will be open from 2pm to 8pm on Wednesday, November 29 and Thursday, November 30 at Hangleton Manor Pub in Hangleton Valley Drive, Hove.
The exhibition will also be open online from November 29 to December 14 at benfieldpark.co.uk.
