Wealden planners are set to reconsider controversial plans for a housing development in Stone Cross, despite a previous decision to refuse the scheme. 

On Thursday (November 4), Wealden District Council’s planning committee south is set to again discuss proposals for a 31-home development at Sharnfold Farm, off of Hailsham Road.

The application was previously considered at a meeting in June, during which the committee also considered proposals to convert agricultural buildings on a different part of the site into a new business centre. The housing scheme was refused, but the business centre proposals were approved.
