MUNDANE - Green belt all over Britain is being turned into boring housing estates, the design of which is uninspiring and lacking climate change features. What are we doing to this country and why are we allowing property developers to get away with it. We endorse a name and shame approach where those involved are identified as being in the public interest. We class such development and those involved in this class of development as public enemies in the fight to conserve rural England.

WD/2015/0090/ HERSTMONCEUX VILLAGE CONDITIONS A - Z INDEX

WD/2015/0090/MAO - GLEESON DEVELOPMENTS LTD

This application is not only contrary to Wealden's Local Plan, but is considered by many to be downright dangerous. The A271 is a narrow country road that is already overloaded - with many traffic jams in the village high street causing motorists serious delays on occasion. The increase in traffic from a dense residential development at this location is nothing short of madness.
