We are pleased that the vision statement (4.3) has taken on board some of the comments raised during the issues & options consultation. However, this is not backed up by clear policies & objectives that will aid delivery of a distinctive future for Hastings based on the town's unique strengths & character (27-32). The objectives & critical success factors seem to parallel Seaspace's business plan too closely without paying enough heed to the special heritage, environmental, seaside & cultural character of Hastings or incorporating enough of the local community's vision for the town, contrary to the Council's own Statement of Community Involvement & PPS12 paras 4.20-4.21
