Strategy for the provision of Business Land and Premises set out in this policy is unsound because it recognises that majority of 100,000sq.m of floorspace is dependent on the Link Road. As the deliverability of this is unknown and uncertain, the document itself must be unsound.
The various items in this policy are all heavily dependent on public investment in services, which, at a time when public spending is extremely constrained, is an unjustified approach. There is no recognition of what the Council can do, through the Core Strategy, to foster private investment in economic activity and growth.
1. It is considered that the strategy for the provision of Business Land and Premises set out in this policy is unsound because it recognises that the majority of the 100,000 square metres of floorspace to be created is dependent on the provision of the Hastings Bexhill Link Road. As the deliverability of this key element of the Core Strategy is unkown and uncertain, the document itself must be unsound.
