and live on Freeview channel 276
The site, adjacent to Collins Honda motor showroom in Hailsham Road, is the proposed location for the housing development in plans submitted to Wealden District Council
According to the documents submitted from Parker Dann Planning Consultants on behalf of Adobe Homes, the L-shaped plot of land is just over one hectare in size.

Documents said the development will be 100 per cent affordable housing on a shared ownership basis – this is when you buy a share of the property and pay rent on the rest. This is something that has been agreed by the council’s housing team.
The development will be a mix of two and three-bed properties in the form of flats, terraces, and semi-detached houses. This is because developers say there is a ‘heavy bias towards smaller, more affordable dwellings’.
There will also be 56 car parking spaces provided, according to the plans.

Members of the public can comment on the plans until July 16.
