There should be further emphasis on the need for a high quality public realm (including access to historic sites and buildings) and a commitment to seek to enhance and promote the historic environment of Hastings, which is clearly an international draw (eg. Hastings Castle). In the same way as there is a section on Public Art (which is good) there could be a similar one for heritage assts playing an 'important role in enhancing local distinctiveness and sense of place' (para 6.31). Further reference could also be made to current Government guidance on streetscape including Manual for Streets Volumes 1&2.
