2^nd December 2022:

Green tiled roofs are a gorgeous feature of Saltdean’s 1930s Art Deco architecture.

The West Saltdean Neighbourhood Forum is working on a Neighbourhood Plan which will include policies to protect this architecture.

A quick search on Google found that it is entirely possible to source green clay roof tiles.

Extract from: https://www.bravarooftile.com/blog/green-roof-tiles/

Clay tiles are sold as glazed or unglazed. In order to achieve a colour that is not in the brown to red category, green clay tiles (can) be glazed.

Therefore, I request that if the recommendation is to grant then a condition is imposed that requires the new tiles to (closely) match the existing green colour.

If this condition is not possible, and the recommendation is to grant, then please can this come to the planning committee for discussion.
