Skating star's planning application

OLYMPIC skating star Jayne Torvill has lodged an application to build a garden room and bike store next to her home.

The work would involve demolishing an existing conservatory in New Pond Hill, Cross in Hand.

At Monday's Heathfield and Waldron Parish Council planning meeting members recommended the scheme for approval, subject to the views of immediate neighbours.

Wealden District Council will have the final say on the bid.

Jayne Torvill and skating partner Christopher Dean won the nation's hearts with their performance at the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo when they were awarded nine perfect sixes for their interpretation of Ravel's Bolero.
