Converted Victorian houses
Ground-floor and garden flats in converted houses near the seafront may suit a flap in the garden door, with the freeholder's consent. Seafront homes face salty winds, so choose a well-sealed, corrosion-resistant flap.
Suburbs and the Downs
Suburbs such as Hampden Park and Langney have more modern homes with cavity walls. The South Downs National Park borders the town to the west.

Questions from homeowners in Eastbourne
Will sea air damage a cat flap?
Choose one with corrosion-resistant fittings and good seals, and fit it in a sheltered door if possible.
I rent. Can I have a cat flap?
Only with your landlord's written permission. A flap in a replaceable door panel is often the easiest to agree.
Who handles planning?
