Transcript

00:00Hello again, Conor Gormley here for Sussex World and this is your daily news bulletin

00:05where I run you through all of our top stories from across both East and West

00:09Sussex today. Plans have been drawn up for 35 new homes in a village south of

00:13Horsham, Sussex World has reported. Developers at Devin, I think that's

00:17how you pronounce it, homes are looking for permission to build properties on

00:21land south of Station Road in Cowfold. They also want to provide a new access

00:25road off the A272 as well as new pedestrian access along with extra

00:30parking spaces and a drop-off point for the nearby St. Peter's School. It's hoped

00:34the plans, if successful, will provide the area with some much-needed family

00:39housing, developers say. The Revelius Hotel in Eastbourne has received a Trip

00:44Advisor Traveller's Choice Award which means it's been recognised as one of the

00:47top, sorry, as within the top 1% of the website's listings worldwide, that's in

00:53terms of ratings and popularity. It's one of the most prestigious awards in

00:57the space, you can imagine how popular Trip Advisor is, and this is the second

01:01year in a row that the hotel has won it, giving owners Chris and Carolyn Hardwood

01:05Harwood, sorry, plenty of cause to celebrate. 37 miles of

01:11off-road track, the South Downs Link that is, has been named the most beautiful

01:15gravel cycling lane in Britain in other news. Gravel cycling, which sees

01:19intrepid cyclists riding on unpaved surfaces, is already popular in the US

01:24and it's just starting to catch on here in Britain. So by studying routes all

01:28over the country, looking for the most photographed, the most popular, bike

01:32company Merlin Cycles has identified the South Downs Link as one of the prettiest

01:36and most frequented in the UK. That's all from me for today, but for more from us
