The current projection does have Leiston and Needham Market moving to the Isthmian, being replaced in the Southern Prem Central by Chesham and Kings Langley.

Alternatives moves from the ILP to the SLPS could be Corinthian-Casuals and Kingstonian, or Bognor and Horsham. The latter does have the advantage of keeping the West Sussex clubs in the same league. Lewes, being fairly well into East Sussex, are too far east to consider.

The relevant NLM forum suggests that the FA will, whenever possible, limit lateral transfers of clubs, i.e. moves of clubs between leagues at the same step. The current projection for ILP/SLPC/SLPS has six lateral transfers; the previous projection had three - Hendon to ILP, Brightlingsea or Bishop's Stortford to SLPC, and Berkhamsted to SLPS, but Berkhamsted blew that apart by losing in the SL1C playoffs.

It's not clear who the FA could move to the SLPS from the SLPC of the season just ended to replace Berkhamsted - Hitchin appear to be the most southerly club.

To repeat, these are only projections at this time. The FA announcement, expected towards the end of this month, will be what counts.
