RR/2010/1305/P Tilly House, The Street, Sedlescombe. Proposed detached garage to the rear of recently constructed property. New vehicular access from Long Lane to serve the same. RESOLVED: That the Parish Council objects to the proposal for the following reasons:

1. Contrary to Policy DS1(xi). The development would increase the risk of flooding by the introduction of more hard landscaping in an area that already suffers, during heavy rain, from water washing stones down Long Lane onto the B2244 and further eroding the surface of the public footpath.

2. Contrary to Policy GD1(x). The development would exacerbate the current problems with surface water in this area.

3. Contrary to Policy TR3(xiii). A suitable turning area has not been provided increasing the risk of unacceptably hazardous reversing movements on the highway.

4. Contrary to Policy GD1(iii). Appropriate parking provision is already provided at the front of these new properties. Development of a garage at the rear would cause an increase in the amount of traffic along the public footpath.

5. Contrary to Policy GD1(ii). The proposed garage would adversely affect the amenities of neighbours by over development of the site.
