Hastings Development Management Plan Proposed Submission Version

Representation ID: 5416

Received: 15/04/2013

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

I am concerned that:

1) the Italianate wing could be demolished;

2) the Convent and its grounds, which make an important contribution to the townscape of this deprived area, might be irrevocably destroyed by development;

3) that the open space should become accessible to the local residents and not carved up for economic gain by the developer.

The social health of the immediate area - that means peoples' daily needs - is far more important to our community than the economic imperative of the developers, and should be the Council's priority.

Thank you for your consideration.
