Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 19429

Received: 30/01/2009

Respondent: Mr. Mrs. Lyons

Agent: Strutt & Parker

Representation Summary:

Support is given to the promotion of sustainable urban extensions to Hastings, in collaboration with Hastings Borough Council. However, the Core Strategy relies too heavily on strategic locations at Bexhill and the west of Hastings, and economic development would benefit from
additional, smaller allocations in Hastings' eastern fringes. The allocation of smaller sites is
especially important as the more strategic sites are reliant on the delivery of the
Bexhill/Hastings Link Road. The northeast of Hastings is considered to be an equally important
location as it has good road and rail connections with Rye and the Shepway coast.
