The following summarises the F&RS's concerns according to individual fire stations & areas proposed new developments within Hastings Borough Council.
1. All residential development in Ashdown & Hollington & development area B25 in Conquest.
The East Sussex F&RS feels that it might be helpful if future planning approvals could include requests for domestic sprinkler systems to be included as part of the building regulations (or alternatively, informative conditions). The request is due to their concern at the distances of the proposed developments from existing fire stations (in the Ridge, Bohemia Rd & Battle), the poor road links & possible additional traffic in the area, following the alterations to Maternity cover at The Conquest, The Ridge & Bohemia Rd being heavily committed to the residential areas in the vicinity of each fire station.
