On the 27th of September 2024, Hurst Green Parish Council received a planning decision notice from Rother District Council, the notice outlined the approval for a planning application on London Road, to be located on the opposite side of the A21 to Hurst Green Primary School at the southern end of Hurst Green village.
Whilst the developers had applied for planning permission ahead of the emerging Hurst Green Neighbourhood Plan being completed, the plan proposed to include the site within the revised development boundary.
The approved plans are for 17 market value homes and 11 affordable housing homes, 2 of the plots will be for be self builders. The affordable housing will consist of a mixture of Affordable First Homes , Affordable Rental Properties, and Shared ownership Properties.
The District Council’s report says “All of the unit types have a unique appearance, while each house type compliments one another, creating a harmonious appearance, lending design cues from one house to the next.”
A new public open space (village green), and a small public car park (for use when dropping children off at the school and for those visiting the green or walking out to Stage Field) are to be included within the scheme, along with a small children’s play area and a new zebra crossing opposite the school.
