Representation Summary:
Stagecoach is the principle bus operator in the Hastings area. They consider that they will be able to accommodate the greater demand arising from the potential 3,516 dwellings through incremental growth, such as the provision of larger vehicles&increased frequencies. However, most new developments do require some level of revenue funding for bus services to ensure that a level of service sufficient to attract new residents before the site is fully developed. It will be the responsibility of the borough planning authroity to ensure an appropriate level of development contributions to implement bus services to support access to new housing development.
