Hastings Development Management Plan Proposed Submission Version

Representation ID: 5453

Received: 15/04/2013

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The Convent grounds both North and South should be designated as Private Open Space on the policies map. This is because the convent and its grounds are major elements of the conservation area (Local Plan 2004). The open space is highly valued in this already densely populated area. This plan is shortsighted as it will deprive future generations of a green resource in the heart of a built up area. This allocation/ identification in the plan will go against the English Heritage guidance on Enabling Development.
