New plans for Battle's Lillybank Farm
In June last year, Rother District Council’s planning committee granted developer Millwood Designer Homes permission to build up to 50 homes at the London Road site.
The plans split the committee, with the decision coming down to a casting vote by chairman Cllr Brian Kentfield.

Now Millwood has submitted a more detailed planning application for the new development.
The Tonbridge-based firm wants to build 50 homes on Lillybank Farm, 17 of which will be affordable units.
If approved, the development will consist of five one bedroom flats, eight two bedroom houses, 23 three bedroom houses, ten four bedroom houses and four five bedroom houses.
Off and on street parking is included in the plans.

The plans also include provision for a play park.
