The proposed doctors surgery is not financially profitable for a developer to deliver within the scale of this development, the Wellbeck/Wakehams application ref: RR/2018/2726/P is a demonstration of the scale required to satisfy developer profits. Along with the required road access works & any attempts at mitigating draining issues, which are unlikely to succeed.
This plan would prompt proposals for larger scale development to finance the infrastructure costs Larger scale development would not be appropriate in the AONB, where paragraph 172 of the NPPF says that development should be limited and only permitted in exceptional circumstances. It would also extend the visual
impact of the development eastwards into more open countryside.
If a GP Practice felt having a full time surgery in Fairlight was required then they would have purchased one of the many houses available & made use of that building. Many rural practice operate from house, even the main Harold Road surgery is run from a converted house.
