in Item 09.93, regarding planning application WD/2009/1698/F affecting the
property of an employer.

09.93 PLANNING
The following new planning applications were
considered:
WD/2009/1591/F. Farmland adjoining High Barn Road,
Upper Dicker. Erection of new farm building to provide livestock
housing and fodder storage. Councillors acknowledged the need for the new
building but had concerns about its proposed positioning, in an open area of
historic countryside where it would be clearly visible from a right of way. In
this particular instance the facility could be more sympathetically situated near
the road, where it would be screened by a good hedgerow. It was resolved by a majority of four
votes to three that APC should OBJECT to the application its present form.
WD/2009/1603/F. Knockhatch Adventure Park,
Hempstead Lane, Hailsham, BN27 3GD. New Wardens
accommodation. It was noted that the Park already had accommodation on site for
the ski lodge manager. Therefore councillors questioned the need for an
additional warden to live on site for night security, especially in the chosen
location near the ski facility. It was resolved that APC should OBJECT
to the application.
WD/2009.1698/F. Charleston Buildings, St Bedes
School, Upper Dicker BN27 3QH. Retention of two school
buildings and change of use to classrooms. The occupants of neighbouring properties
were content with this scheme. It was resolved that APC should SUPPORT
the application.
The meeting closed at 8.00 pm.
