Polegate Town Council has objected very strongly on behalf of residents against the Mornings Mill application the Town Council is pleased to report that Wealden District Council upheld the refusal of the Mornings Mill application by Planning Committee South.
The Town Council has submitted a number of letters and emails to Wealden District Council regarding both the call in process by Planning Committee South to Planning Committee North and the officers reports that do not clearly layout the Town Councils plans for the land stated as being available for access. This has never been the case and this has been communicated with officers and the members of the Planning Committees.
The Town Council thanks the Planning Committee North for upholding the decision by Planning Committee South, and feels this the right decision for this site at the present time.
Mayor, Cllr Douglas Murray said “There are more than sufficient housing being built to accommodate all local needs and this area of green space solely contributes to urban sprawl between Polegate and the sea.
There are applications for many new dwellings in addition to those already built or being built in the vicinity of Polegate that already rely on the railway station and further crowd out our already very congested roads.”
Cllr Wendy Alexander Chair of the Planning Committee at Polegate Town Council said “This is a great result and a vindication of the decision by planning Committee South and I would like to commend Planning Committee North for their integrity in this matter.
