The long awaited SDNPA Area Action Plan consultation is under way. A chance to have some say in the future of the Old Shoreham Cement Works.
This is a generational chance to build a beacon of sustainable hope in the heart of the national park.
Developers will be pushing for mundane housing and low grade development to maximise profit but at what real cost?
A world leading professor of sustainable development is offering to step up and work further to develop a world class scheme to serve the National Park, the local residents but also to respond to the wider global need for projects to demonstrate genuine Net Zero fossil Carbon developments. This is a real chance to build a world famous showcase highlighting the technology we can use to build a sustainable future.
