The statement that the design brief will 'create a landmark building which would act as a catalyst for the broader regeneration of Central St Leonards' is unsound. Adding more cement to the desecration of the Kings Road Conservation Area is a misguided policy. The council may wish to see 'a vibrant active street level frontage to the station forecourt' and 'retail and similar uses such as coffee shops/sandwich bars' added to the glut of existing unused shops, residents of Hastings and St Leonards have a better understanding of the area.
