Don't Urbanise the Downs

No New Town in the South Downs.

Eton College plans to build a 3,250-house new town in beautiful open countryside right on the edge of the South Downs National Park in East Sussex. This huge scheme, marketed as an eco-sensitive development by the North Barnes Farm Partnership, is in a very quiet rural area and would damage the landscape of the area forever, destroying precious habitat and ecosystems.

Please join the campaign to make our voices heard. The land can’t speak, but we can!

This is NOT a “NIMBY” issue - our supporters come from all over Sussex and beyond. This biodiverse countryside lies right on the border of the South Downs National Park, a dark skies reserve, a UNESCO Biosphere and is close to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s part of our heritage; let’s all help protect it.

Wrong scheme – wrong place. We are already meeting local housing targets. The only gain is profit for Eton College & Welbeck Land Developers.

We are raising funds to fight this proposal and we would welcome your help and support. Funds raised will be used to build publicity and commission professional advice.  

We are grateful for any donation you can make.
