The planning inspector has dismissed the appeal by the developers looking to build more houses at the entrance to Heathfield.
I took the district council planning committee to see this tiny patch of land last year, and thankfully they kicked out the application.
The developers then took it to appeal and the inspector has thrown it out, commenting "the development of this site requires a particularly sensitive and imaginative approach". From other remarks in the report, he clearly doesn't think what was put before him cuts the mustard: "bland and uninspiring" and "an isolated afterthought, unrelated to the adjacent form of development, and out of character".
We need now to talk to the developers so that, on the back of this, they come up with something better. The people of Heathfield deserve it.
