Inspired Villages is pleased to announce that Wealden District Council has approved its plans to deliver a new retirement community at Little Mount Lake, Frant. 

The new community will deliver 146 specialist residential apartments and cottages with communal facilities accessible to the local area including a café, shop, and wellness centre (comprising a swimming pool, hairdressers, and a fitness suite). A clinical space will also be provided for the use of both village residents and the surrounding community.   

The scheme was developed in close consultation with local residents, businesses, and key stakeholders including the Rotherfield St Martin charity and Mayfield & Five Ashes Community Services group. 

Phase 1 

Wealden District Council’s Planning Committee approved the detailed designs for this first phase of development, giving the scheme reserved matters planning permission on 9th December. 

Phase 1 will deliver 55 units of accommodation comprising: 24 apartments within the village centre; 30 apartments split between four blocks and 1 cottage. 

Phase 2 & 3 

Phases 2 and 3 will contain the remaining development. We are now coming forward with our detailed plans for Phase 2 & 3 of Little Mount Lake, known as ‘Reserved Matters’. A planning application was submitted to Wealden District Council in 2023, following a public consultation event which was held in May 2023.
