The East Sussex F&RS is concerned about the fact that their Fire Stations generally do not have a use class awarded to it. They are furthermore concerned that if some of them were to become surplus to requirement, they would not get the best possible value to the respective sites. Being 'sui generis' can therefore be problematic & would lower the site value should they need to relocate, & the existing comes available for redevelopment. They mentioned -
*Bohemia Road - could possibly be redeveloped for residential purposes between 2006-2026.
*The Ridge, Ore - could also be redeveloped for residential purposes between 2006-2026
Seeing that a mere classification or reclassification of a site is not possible, respective change of use applications would have to be submitted to the Local Planning Authority
