NO to Uckfield building conversion

Plans to convert a High Street property in Uckfield have been refused at an appeal hearing.

A decision notice was published last Friday (November 14)

The planning inspector dismissed a pair of appeals linked with proposals to create three flats by converting the currently vacant 101 High Street, which is a Grade II listed building and had formerly been used as a solicitors’ office.

The proposals would have seen a commercial shopfront retained at the ground floor, with the remaining parts of the main building converted into two two-bedroom flats. A third one-bedroom flat would have been created by converting an adjoining outbuilding.
