Planning
Planning status: No Application
Planning authority: Wealden District Council
Application details:
Pre-application advice was sought from Wealden District Council in March 2020 for a proposed development of 146 dwellings, additional recreation space/flood compensation, and riverside corridor. The opinion of the planning officer is that development of the site would harm the landscape character and appearance of the area and so would not be supported.
However, the officer did acknowledge that the authority
could only demonstrate a 3.67-year supply of housing land
(as set out in the December 2019 monitoring report).
