Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The convent and its grounds should be protected from inappropriate development as they are precious assets in terms of both local and national heritage and public amenity. The should be designated as PRIVATE OPEN SPACE and not identified/ allocated. 1) They are MAJOR elements of the Conservation areas (Local Plan 2004) 2) These grounds make an important contributuon to the townscape of this historic area. 3) This open space is ESPECIALLY PRECIOUS as it lies in the ward of Central St Leonards, the most densely poulated ward in East Sussex where most residents live in flats or HMOs the majority of which still have NO gardens. This proposal would mean an increase of 1000+ extra residents without any IMPACT ASSESSMENT having been carried out. 4) Inappropriate development of a unique and lovely place would diminish the potential of these precious assets. It also negates our bid to be a City of Culture! 5) This allocation would be contrary to the English Heritage guidance on Enabling Developmnents.
