Cuckmere Haven Planning Permission Approval

The vista of Cuckmere Haven, the Coastguard Cottages and the Seven Sisters cliffs beyond, which is currently gracing a set of commemorative Royal Mail stamps in celebration of our National Parks, is under peril from collapsing into the sea. This area has a special place in my heart, that’s where I shot my very first film, and I’m sure many share my view for other reasons. After 6 years, on Thursday 11th February, “Britain’s best view” received approval from the South Downs National Park Authority Planning Committee to reinforce the maritime defences. William Ranieri met with the chair of Cuckmere Haven SOS to find out more.
