Application No.
WD/2008/1559/F
Location: 1
Eight Bells Close Buxted
Description:
Construction of rear dormer to provide two attic bedrooms.
Applicant: Mr.
Steven George
Agent: Mike
Hill Architectural Services
No objection
but the Council has concerns that the proposed large dormer is
over dominant and out of proportion with the property and asks
that the Officer considers the proposal in relation to the
Wealden Design Guide. The Council considers that two dormers,
one for each bedroom would be a better design option.

The Council
objects unless the size of the dormer is reduced and conditions
are imposed to prevent residential use of the proposed garage
and store, that the proposed building is tied to the main
property and that permitted development rights are removed for
both the exterior and interior of the proposed building.

Application
No. WD/2008/1567/F
Location:
Pinewood Station Road Buxted
Description:
Demolition of existing garage and erection of two semi-detached
dwellings
Applicant:
Ms Rebecca Miller
Agent: Stile
Harold Williams
The Council
objects to this application for new dwellings on this site
outside the Buxted development boundary. The proposed
development would lead to increased vehicle usage at the already
dangerous access point on to the A272 and would jeopardise
safety. The development would only provide very limited parking
for visitors to the proposed houses and cause congestion in the
shared access way for the neighbouring houses. The Council has
concerns that the proposed development would overlook
neighbouring properties and considers that it would, despite the
removal of the garages from this latest proposal, be an
overdevelopment of the site. A proposal for one modestly sized
house on the garage site would possibly be more acceptable.
