The South East Plan remains part of the development plan system, in which Policy H1 sets out the Regional Housing Provision between 2006-2026. For Hastings the housing requirement is 4200 new dwellings, equivalent of 210 dwellings per annum.

Draft policy DS1 sets out a requirement for 3400 dwellings during the period 2011-2028, which is the equivalent of 200 dwellings per year. If however, the South East Plan were to be extrapolated to cover the period of 2011-2028 at 210 dwellings per annum, the requirement would be for 3570 dwellings ie.170 dwellings more than set out in draft policy DS1.
