WD/07/1423/F: 3 Jonas Drive
Rear conservatory erection
No objection on planning grounds but consider that there are building regulations
issues to warrant concern.
WD/07/1401/F: Wadhurst Ironmongers, High Street
Single storey extension to provide roof cover and security to the existing
open air retail space.
No objection in principle to the covering over of external sales area owned
by the applicant, but we have concerns about the treatment of the vertical
enclosure and roofing materials.
Security shutters could obstruct visibility for cars leaving the car park and
invite graffiti. We would suggest that a conservatory type appearance would
achieve the applicant’s requirements and look more appropriate on an important
period building location in the High Street scene, which is part of the Conservation
Area. The fire exit door is located in a dangerous position and increases the
extent of narrow pavement unnecessarily.
