PLANNING APPLICATIONS CAN BE VIEWED here - but note the reference number before leaving this page!
WD/2008/0221/F Windmill, Castle Walk
Demolition of existing single storey structure to the east side of the property
and construction of a replacement double storey structure plus an additional
single storey extension to the west of the existing garage and replacement
of the existing flat roof with a pitched roof.
The applicant Mr Elder also attended whilst this application was discussed
Whilst this application does not follow the Wealden Design Guide advice
regarding the set back from the front wall plane of the existing building,
nevertheless we support the proposal as the overall effect is an improvement
in that the existing ill considered single storey extensions have been demolished.
It is noted that the French doors to the family room are shown as 2 pairs
on the plan whereas the elevation shows 3 pairs
WD/2008/0169/F Beaconhurst, Old Station Road.
Single storey pitched roof side extension for use as utility room, removal
of existing porch.
No comment
WD/2008/0108/F The Keys (flats 1 & 2) Station Hill
Erection of pair of garages (flats 1 & 2) with access road and additional
parking area.
It is considered that the excessive amount of excavation might adversely
effect the stability of the surrounding development, the car parking area
does not provide adequate turning space., and the pine trees on the neighbouring
property adjoining the garages would be adversely affected., therefore we
object to the proposal.
It is noted that the rear elevation is inaccurate in that most of it would
be concealed by the retaining wall
WD/2008/0232/F Wadhurst Castle.
Alterations to outbuilding and conversion to self-contained dwelling.
No objection in principle.
It is noted that the chimney serving the kitchen in the adjoining property
has been removed although no reference is made as to how this will affect
the facilities in this room

Installation of a flat panel antenna to chimney stack.
