Planning committee

Decided by Rother Planning Committee on 30 Jul 2026.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised granting consent because the repair-focused works would preserve the listed building’s architectural and historic interest.
  • Members were concerned that the flat roof repairs might not prevent water ingress and suggested a sloped roof.
  • The committee unanimously granted listed building consent, subject to conditions.

An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.

Checked on 11 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
