The exclusion of Hastings and St Leonards makes it difficult to plan a spatial framework to 2026. It excludes an urban area in the middle of the region on the basis of political boundaries.

The Vision and Objectives should encompass the South East Plan’s Sussex Coast sub-region. It would be more logical to include the Hastings LDF within this Document, particularly when considering the Bexhill-Hastings Link Road and regional transport issues. Continuing work with the Hastings and Bexhill Taskforce and the Hastings and Bexhill Seafront strategy demonstrates the need to integrate Rother’s Core Strategy with Hastings’.
