We will add the full reference, consultation deadline and direct application link once verified. The earlier reference WD/2025/6503/SO relates to a screening opinion and is not the full planning application reference.
The button below currently opens Wealden’s general guidance on taking part in the planning process. A direct application link will replace it when available.
