This is a significant development – probably the biggest in the village’s history. This proposal for the former St Aubyns School which occupies a large site in the centre of Rottingdean will affect everyone in the village in one way or another.
In addition to the display of their initial proposals in the public exhibition at the Whiteway Centre on 22nd January, the developer, Linden Homes, has already prepared a website and leafleted the village. You can download a PDF of the proposed development HERE.
They intend to submit a planning application for St Aubyns in March, following a review of the feedback obtained from local residents and liaison with Brighton and Hove City Council officers. Linden Homes are also inviting you to “Have Your Say” about the proposal via their website.
During the statutory consultation period there will also be an opportunity for you to provide comments to the Council.
Now is the chance for YOU to Have Your Say below in the comments.

Laughter Yoga therapy is rapidly spreading across the World as one of the most popular health and fitness methods for stress reduction, raising low mood, and increasing wellbeing; and it is all about laughter for NO REASON! That’s right, no reason at all other than the fun of laughing. We don’t use jokes, or clowning or comedy although classes might appear to look very silly.
The funny thing is,the body does not know the difference between “fake” and genuine laughter, it still produces the same positive results.
Laughter really is a “best medicine.”
Recent scientific research studies reveal that the long series of exhalations that accompany extensive laughter cause physical exhaustion of the abdominal muscles and, in turn, trigger endorphin release, the body’s natural “feel-good” pain reduction hormone.
Although based on the Laughter Yoga method of Indian doctor Madan Kataria, the founder of laughter Yoga, my classes incorporate mindful awareness, and gentle limbering exercises combined with some easy yogic breathing.
Classes begin with easy stretching to release stress and tension from the body followed by clapping , mindful breaths, and “laughter sounds” which gradually turn into genuine laughter……simple miming, and games we used to play as children add to a seriously light hearted approach to stress relief and exercise!
The health benefits of Laughter include:
WHERE ELSE CAN YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE SERIOUSLY SILLY, LAUGH FOR NO REASON, AND STILL GET AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS?
