A 36.80-acre parcel of land has become available for sale at Landport Lewes. The land is formed of 2 separate parcels divided by the Lewes to London trainline but joined by an underpass under the railway line. The eastern boundary (approximately 1km long) is the River Ouse and to the west is Landport Estate and a flood defence bank sits on the land that is maintained by LDC to protect properties at the bottom of the estate.
The Council would like to purchase the land to realise stackable environmental benefits.
