Former kitchen showroom in Hailsham could be knocked down to create convenience store

The plans submitted to Wealden District Council are for the building in London Road to be knocked down and a convenience store with associated parking to be built in its place.

Plans say the existing building used to operate as a kitchen and bathroom showroom, and a plumber’s merchant for DIY sales.

A structural assessment was done to see if the existing building could be converted into the convenience store but plans say ‘in the final analysis, it was determined that the correct course of action would be to demolish the existing building and construct a modern structure which would allow for a more practical sustainable and commercial arrangement’.

Members of the public can comment on the plans until March 31 (WD/2023/0523/F).
