Representation Summary:

This objective - like Objective 1 - again completely misses out the specific needs of the SME sector within the Borough. An additional Critical Success Factor should be added that targets the provision of affordable retail, office and industrial space for enterprises employing less that 10 people and/or less than 5 years trading.

Business/employment/wages - laudable but won't happen unless both Objective 7 - better road communication and better rail links with London and Ashford are in place - neither of which are in your authority.

Support the vision & objectives for Hastings, but objective 3 would benefit from seeking a reduced reliance on out-commuting

Representation Summary:

Provision of 60,800m2 of new employment floorspace is optimistic & does not reflect market conditions. Recommend examining the option of introducing greater flexibility on new employment locations and sites to consider whether mixed use with housing would be more appropriate in certain situations.

Representation Summary:

If purpose built industrial buildings are required surely they can't be built until the business has been identified? Or are they just large sheds or warehouses. With Hasitngs only having a 180 degree hinterland, industry is less likely to venture to Hastings with only the A21 & A259 to export their goods.

It would be useful to have an explanation of the findings of studies in support of the critical success factor for the provision of 60,500m2 of modern, purpose built industrial & warehouse floorspace on land outside the town.

Representation Summary:

Critical success factors - Many of these seem to stray into the teritory of policy or proposals which could be seen as prejudicing aspects of the strategy.
