New Houses, Marine Drive, Saltdean
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 28 Jan 2016
Built in the last year or so on the site of a former single house, number 151, and its large garden. The house had been derelict for many years and burnt down in November 2013 in a blaze that required the attention of seven fire appliances and completely closed the A259 for a number of hours. Arson was the cause with local conspiracy theorists pointing to the fact planning permission had been granted to develop the site a week or so beforehand. Located on the corner of Cranleigh Avenue.
