Hastings Development Management Plan Proposed Submission Version
Representation ID: 5636
Received: 15/04/2013
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The existing adopted Local Plan does not contain any minimum space standards and the Council has produced no evidence that this has given rise to poor standards of housing accommodation. To introduce such a policy without any sound justification would be too prescriptive and too inflexible in its operation. Such a policy could restrict new housing in a known area of high housing demand.
