Planners approve Hastings homes
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Hastings Borough Council’s planning committee granted permission to build a semi-detached pair of three-bedroom homes in Beauharrow Road.
Planning permission had previously been granted for a single detached home on the same site. The proposed dwellings are expected to occupy a wider footprint than the previously approved scheme, but to follow the same building line.

Objectors had raised a number of concerns about the scheme, including: disruption from the construction; potential harm to local ecology; and impact on the amenity of neighbouring homes, specifically a loss of privacy.
But committee members felt the scheme was acceptable, granting planning permission in line with a recommendation from officers.
Cllr John Cannan (Ind) was among those who spoke in favour of the scheme. He said: “It is a very reasonable development, very clearly laid out in the report. Any issues have been resolved so I am very happy to go ahead with it.

Each of the properties are expected to be provided with two off-road parking spaces, together with refuse storage and cycle storage facilities. They are also expected to have their own private garden spaces.
