Hastings cannot accommodate its housing requirements entirely on brownfield sites, as such it is prudent to utilise some Greenfield sites. It seems advantageous to concentrate Greenfield development within one area. The Preferred Option 3 & allocation of Land at Breadsell Lane is strongly supported as release of land for housing here would ensure other areas of the Borough situated within the High Weald AONB (where much land in the South East of Hastings lies) remains protected. It would also enable the delivery of the shared vision for Hastings & Bexhill due to its location. Concentrating Greenfield development in the one area may also allow greater levels of energy efficiency to be achieved & will enable a more harmonious form of deevelopment as well as delivering other key objectives such as sustainable transport, provision of a network of green spaces & community facilities. Out client's land within Rother District Council could help deliver this shared vision & enable such benefits to be brought to the area.
