Proposals for a new build in Pett Level are set to return to Rother planners next week, after a previous decision was quashed as a result of a legal challenge.

On Thursday (April 14), Rother District Council’s planning committee is set to reconsider an application to build a two-storey home on land next to a property known as Curlew Cottage in Pett Level Road.

The scheme, which is recommended for refusal, had last been before the committee in November last year, where it was approved against officer advice after councillors raised concerns about a potential ‘injustice’ taking place.

However, this decision has since been quashed, following a legal challenge which argued the council had engaged in ‘procedural impropriety’.
