The statement under (a) "support the development of key sites in Central St Leonards, including the former Hastings College site in Archery Road" is incorrect. The college site is NOT in Central St Leonards. It is in Maze Hill Ward and the West St Leonards Conservation Area. To include it in the Central area is misleading, inappropriate and a distortion of subsequent housing allocations.

Clause [a]
OBJECT
This is not justified in its inclusion of the Archery Road site in Central St Leonards. In 2008 it was wrongly included in Central St Leonards, but as part of South St Leonards Area,
before the imposition of the Focus areas. Following their introduction, it should have become apparent that this site was not relevant under this policy. Its inclusion suggests that it comes under the designation of a town centre, and therefore high density, site, whereas the Archery Road area is of a lower density, more suburban nature.

General support for all elements of policy, suggest amendment to wording to ensure "achieve" better accessibility rather than "promote".
