The site is located on the north - eastern edge of Forest Row and occupies former railway land at the northern end of Station Road. Forest Row Fire Station and Forest Row Social Club adjoin the site to the west and a Scout Hut is located adjacent to the eastern boundary. The Forest Way Linear Path runs parallel with the northern of site but existing trees provide a good natural screen along the northern boundary. Industrial development exists to the south and access to the site from Station Road is via an extensive open courtyard area in front of the Fire Station and Social Club buildings.

Forest Row is a large affluent village to the north of East Sussex, located 3 miles south of East Grinstead with a population in the Parish of approximately 5,500 persons at the last Census. The village has retained much of its original character, being close to Ashdown Forest. The towns of Tunbridge Wells, Crowborough and Uckfield are all within easy reach of Forest Row.

Planning

Planning consent was granted in September 1983 for use as a Civic Amenity site for the reception of bulky household waste. Consent for continuation of the use was granted in November 1992 subject to conditions including "no tipping, processes, operations, active deeds of work" shall be carried out on the site including the loading and unloading of vehicles, except between the following hours on any day, and access to the site shall be prohibited at all other times:

07.00 hours (09.00 hours Sunday) - 21.00 hours Summer;
07.00 hours (09.00 hours Sunday) - 19.00 hours Winter

As the use has ceased at the site and the previous use under the current planning legislation is Sui Generis, then planning consent maybe required for any future use.

Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries to the Local Planning Authority (Wealden District Council - t: 01323 443322) for any proposed changes of use/site redevelopment potential.
