Plans to convert part of a former Santander bank building in Crowborough into apartments have been approved.

Wealden District Council confirmed that the change of use for the upper floors of the building at 4 High Street can go ahead under permitted development rights. 

Key Details of the Project

  • Residential Conversion: The building's first and second floors will be converted into two flats. 
  • Commercial Ground Floor: The street-level ground floor will remain active as a commercial unit. 
  • Planning Decision: Although Crowborough Town Council urged the district council to refuse permission, planning officers determined there were no adverse impacts to warrant withholding prior approval. 
  • Parking Arrangements: East Sussex Highways noted that parking provisions would be adequately managed through specific development conditions.
