A target density of 40 dwellings per hectare in Central St Leonards is in direct contradiction to other approaches and objectives within this LDF Framework. In order to achieve an increase in family sized housing within this area and broaden housing options, the density will need to be reduced as the present over-provision of HMO's and smaller accommodation units is tackled.

No upper limit on housing density has been suggested here. Setting an appropriate limit would discourage inappropriate large-scale crowded developments.

Paras 6.9-6.10 refer to national recommendations of 30 dwellings per hectare; SEPlan says 40dph, local respondents concede 70-75dph in Silverhill, Ore and Old Town. PA21 is in line with this - 30 minimum, at least 40 in town centre, Silverhill, Ore and Old Town, BUT in PA9, Crystal Square is designated for 157 new homes; - the Crystal Square area is noted as less than 1ha - therefore density is proposed at greater than 157dph! This is unacceptable in an already overcrowded area where there are no leisure facilities. Crystal Square is the only site where there is a possiblity of community provision which could incorporate a library, WRVS/Age Concern, Youth provision (music sites, performance spaces, pool tables etc). Uckfield has a good comparison where the Council offices and community spaces are integrated with a residential development. Please do not put housing on Crystal Square.

I ask the Council to include in the Local Development Framework that a proportion of land to be allocated for housing be allocated to low density (high priced housing) as the current governement guidelines make no provision for large low density housing and there is a shortage of such housing for senior management and the types of high earning families that i believe Hastings should be seeking to retain/attract to the area as these are the people who will invest in Hastings and run and develop local businesses which will bring additional employment to the area.

SMPCT supports the principle that higher densities should be achieved on more sustainable sites. To ensure that the maximum number of residential units is delivered to previously developed sites, SMPCT recommends that the preferred approach requires that development proposals achieve the maximum intensity of use compatible with the local context. This approach would be consistent with guidance set out paragraphs 49 and 50 of PPS3 and is also recognised by the Council in the supporting text (paragraph 16.13).
SMPCT considers that in order to provide certainty to developers, the Council should be more specific to whether additional guidance on internal space standards will be prepared and the timescales for its preparation.

Support the approach of a minimal density, but greater provision should be included for a range of densities dependent on the location of development to enable more efficient use to be made of available resources.

'unless there are very special local circumstances that require a different treatment' is open to abuse. I wish to reduce the denisty of the town though if this statement stays it is condemming some areas to other development & others will get away without the shop horn effect. Therefore in for a penny in for a pound & this statement should be removed so the articulate upper class don't manipulate the lower class areas into having all the high denisty developments.
High denisty areas (40/h) should not be allowed to go ahead until the potential services & faciliities of transport are in place, in case they get overlooked.

Higher levels between 70 & 75 dwellings per hectare are not acceptable in Ore Village, Baird & Tressell

Delete 'at least'
Density of 40 dwellings per hectare is in line with the SE Plan. Internal space standards & the relationship to the surrounding area MUST BE DEVELOPED within one year. There is NO NEED for the Town to be developing at higher densities than 40dph to achieve the Governments 210dpa
