About

East Saltdean & Telscombe Cliffs is a coastal ward on the eastern edge of Brighton and Hove, characterised by its position atop chalk cliffs. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of interwar and post-war housing estates. The landscape is defined by the steep, grassy slopes of the cliffs, which separate the urban development from the shoreline below. This geography creates a distinct separation between the clifftop community and the beach access points.

A notable feature is the Saltdean Lido, a 1930s outdoor swimming pool complex that is a landmark of art deco design. The area includes the isolated settlement of Telscombe Cliffs, connected by roads that navigate the undulating terrain. The South Downs National Park boundary lies immediately to the north, influencing local planning. Public open spaces are limited to cliff-top paths and a few recreational grounds, with the undercliff walk providing a route along the base of the cliffs.
