A black day for Heathfield

The developers have succeeded in winning their planning appeal to build two houses on a patch of land at the entrance to Heathfield.
I have opposed this three times in the last five years because that is what the people of Heathfield wanted. Three times the district council planning committee has listened to us and rejected the application. The developer took the decision made by the district to appeal two years ago and lost. Now the developer has won his appeal and the building will go ahead. The local community will get about £6k for local projects but that is small recompense for cramming two houses on a pocket handkerchief. Local residents will watch the site to ensure there is no disruption to traffic etc while the houses are being built.
