Option one should be accepted and ESCC quote rejected as unsustainable. The population projection states that the population will decrease therefore fewer homes will be required. "if sites do not come forward at the expected rate" the green field site will be released to wrong. Developers will hold onto harder to develop brownfield sites to add the release of the green field sites which yield greater profit hem. All brownfield sites need to have been used before green field is released. The council have no control over the rate of development. This is dependant on he developers profit margin which is dependant on house prices, land prices, inflation etc. 7.16 this strategy gives all the power to the developers and none to HBC, who would be at their mercy. Change to option one and inform ESCC Hastings does not have any further space to expand.
