Now that the County Council has received the application and it has been registered, public notices will be put up at the proposed site and it will be advertised in the local newspaper. Consultation with Wealden District Council and Chiddingly and Laughton Parish Councils will take place. Local residents will be invited to make comments about the application over a three week period, which will begin once the advert is published.
All comments will be considered, but only those about planning issues, including the impact on residential areas, traffic levels and access to the site can be taken into account in assessing the proposal.
The planning application is on a 2.5 hectare site beside the A22 between East Hoathly and Golden Cross. Ancillary infrastructure with the application includes site offices, a weighbridge, visitor parking and service roads.
A report will be taken to the Planning & Highways Sub Committee which will then make a decision on the planning application. The date of the meeting will be publicised and the report will be available on the County Council’s website.
The application can be viewed at Wealden District Council offices, Vicarage Lane or at County Hall Lewes or by contacting Onxy South Downs on 01273 410231
