Developers have launched a fresh bid to demolish a historic house in Eastbourne which was once a First World War Hospital.

In April, town planners refused a move to knock down Kempston in Granville Road to make way for a block of 16 flats.

But a fresh bid has been submitted to the council for the same amount of flats but with, what the building’s owners Associated Property Owners Ltd describes as, amendments to overcome concerns expressed by historians and campaigners who did not want to see the loss of a historic Victorian villa in the Meads area and wanted to see the building refurbished instead.
