Restoration plans for Stanmer Park receive Lottery boost

Restoration plans for Stanmer Park receive Lottery boost. More than £4 million has been earmarked to restore historic Stanmer Park, which is situated next to the University of Sussex campus. Brighton and Hove City Council has received a development grant of £291,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and Big Lottery Fund for the Stanmer Estate Restoration Project. The money will be matched by the council and the South Downs National Park Authority , which is jointly managing the scheme. The news means that the council can now go ahead and develop detailed plans to support its £4 million bid to restore Stanmer's historic landscape and buildings. Stanmer's 485-hectare estate boasts a nationally significant Grade 2 listed landscape and stable block plus 16 Grade 2 listed buildings. Located within the South Downs National Park, it provides a setting for the Grade 1 listed Stanmer House.
