Planning

Planning Applications are decided by Wealden District Council. Hellingly Parish Council is invited to comment on those involving the parish, but does not have any executive power. The monthly meeting of the Planning and Environment Committee, normally held on the 3rd Monday of each month at the Village Hall, is open to members of the public, who are always asked whether they wish to address the Committee. The detail of planning applications is available on Wealden District Council’s web site: http://www.planning.wealden.gov.uk or from their offices in Crowborough or Hailsham.  Planning applications are considered by Wealden District Council, normally in public.  Anyone wishing to speak for or against an application should contact the Committee by telephoning .01892 602433

Wealden is now consulting on the location and form of the STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT SITES being proposed as part of the Wealden Core Strategy which will determine development in the District for the period to 2030. Time is short. The six week consultation runs from 16 January to 24 February 2012. This is the first stage of public consultation on this document and Wealden District Council is required to take your views into account in producing the Strategic Sites DPD. In order to do this they are presenting information about possible options for development within each Strategic Development Area. In addition to the various options presented, you may wish to put forward your own ideas on options for consideration.
