A developer has put in proposals to use a rural hotel as shared housing.
In a partly-retrospective application to Wealden District Council, a developer is seeking planning permission to convert part of the Crockstead Farm Hotel, near Halland, into a Home in Multiple Occupation (HMO).
According to documents submitted as part of the application, the hotel closed its doors as a result of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 and is not expected to reopen.
The application proposes to convert 12 former hotel rooms into HMO accommodation. These rooms, described as ensuite bedrooms, would share a utility room and kitchen.
The developer says the majority of the conversion work, which does not involve external alterations to the building, has already taken place. They say it did not involve major works.
