Revised plans are due to go in front of Wealden councillors

This will happen at a meeting on Thursday (April 10).

Wealden District Council’s Planning Committee North is due to consider an application from Mayfield and Five Ashes Parish Council to create a new community and health centre in place of the village’s Memorial Hall.

A Previous proposal was to completely demolish and redevelop the Memorial Hall. This turned out to be too expensive and didn't come into fruition. A budget of £4.5million has been set aside.

A spokesman for the parish council said: “The latest design is based on the original scheme that received planning approval but which has been made affordable by adopting a ‘design and build’ method of construction along with a number of modifications and necessary compromises to the community centre.
