Hastings Planning Strategy New Government Household Projections Consultation May 2013
Representation ID: 5693
Received: 01/07/2013
The Council are seeking to circumvent 'The presumption in favour of development' contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.
The strategy being to set an extremely low target as regards annual housing completions required during the Local Plan period, in stark contrast to Government statistical data, by citing non-existent boundary and environmental constraints to the Allocation of Housing Development Sites.
If approved, this then allows the LPA to refuse subsequent Planning Applications on unallocated housing sites on the basis of a material deviation from the Local Plan.
The annual housing requirement is between 363 (Howmanyhomes)and 440 (ESCC) not 200 as proposed.
