Hastings Planning Strategy Proposed Submission Version

Received: 17/08/2012
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
This does not reflect para 4.49 'support the retail role of Hastings and St Leonards town centres', nor FA2 'a modest quantity of retail development would be supported in Central St Leonards compatible with function as a district centre'.
This policy is inconsistent as it suggests that St Leonards will only be considered after Hastings town centre rather than in its own right. There was no consultation on retail in St Leonards in 2011, but Preferred Approach 4 in 2008 [Location of Retail Development - Comparison Goods] gave 'an element of provision located in St Leonards District Centre'
