Andrew Blackman, Chairman of the Friends of Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve on behalf of the committee. writes:
We object to the proposed development. Attempting to add a two storey extension to an existing single storey building is rarely a recipe for success and, in the present case, the result is a deeply unsatisfactory. The site is a prominent one within a particularly sensitive part of the High Weald AONB so the design of any proposed building here is of the greatest importance. The current design is unacceptable. The Friends would not object to a significant single storey extension in keeping with the look and feel of the existing cottage.
