Two Polegate shops are ‘no longer viable’ so could become a flat

The plans, submitted to Wealden District Council, wish to convert Scent and Posy Bowl and Hair Shop into a flat. Plans say the shops, in High Street, are ‘no longer viable to run due to the economic climate which has been deteriorating for a number of years now’.

There’s already an occupied flat above the shops and if approved, the two ground floor shops would be merged to form a two-bed flat.
