\n Owner Thomas Eastwood has asked for retrospective approval for a temporary caravan, the demolition of run-down buildings and a shipping-container chiller for deer carcasses at Drakes Head Den on Brick Kiln Lane.\n<\/p>\n
\n Objecting to the application to Wealden District Council, neighbour D J Pedder says it does not explain how waste produced by the butchery of the deer carcasses is disposed of.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Pedder said: \u201cThe application makes no mention of the waste products involved such as blood, guts, skin, heads and hooves and how he intends to dispose of them.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The site reportedly has no power or mains water, raising hygiene concerns given the work involved.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Pedder said: \u201cThere is no power or mains water to the site.\n<\/p>\n
\n “How does the applicant propose to run the chiller?\n<\/p>\n
\n And how will he ensure adequate hygiene?\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The site is covered by an Article 4 Direction, which restricts what can be done on agricultural land.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Pedder said: “The applicant continues to fail to demonstrate any agricultural endeavours.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The village of Hadlow Down does not need another industrial site.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Pedder also warned the expanded business could bring more traffic.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “This proposal will create more traffic on a country lane which is already in a poor state of repair.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The plans also include demolishing dilapidated buildings on the site on safety grounds.\n<\/p>\n
\n Pedder said: “We are told that the buildings are in a state of disrepair after only five to six years.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The application also includes a temporary welfare unit in the form of a 16ft touring caravan.\n<\/p>\n
\n The caravan would be used while working the land, attending shows and during family visits, but not as permanent accommodation.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Eastwood said: “It will remain on-site for no longer than 60 days in a calendar year, which falls within the permitted timeframe for temporary structures not requiring planning permission.”\n<\/p>\n
\n But Mr Pedder claimed the application is incomplete and leaves out key planning history.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “A caravan has already been dealt with and refused by the council.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Owner Thomas Eastwood has asked for retrospective approval for a temporary caravan, the demolition of run-down buildings and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":508777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[90,56,54,55,4407],"class_list":{"0":"post-508776","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-science","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom","11":"tag-unitedkingdom","12":"tag-wildlife"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
