Hastings Local Development Framework - Core Strategy Informal Consultaton 27 June - 8 August 2011

Representation ID: 2122

Received: 25/07/2011

Representation Summary:

Whichever local housing target is decided upon, the Council needs to identify any potential impacts on the Strategic Road Network from the new target. Although Hastings doesn't have any trunk roads within its borough, it is bordered to the east/west by the A259 and the A21 to the north. It is important to consider cross boundary impacts and recognise the capability of the SRN as a potential constraint. Once the quantum of impact is established, the next vital step is to identify realistic mitigation measures to minimise the individual and cummulative site impacts, to ensure housing provision identified is deliverable.
