Hastings Development Management Plan Proposed Submission Version

Received: 25/02/2013

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

I find the use of the wording "archaeological and historic interest" extremely confusing. I am a historic environment profesional, and even I don't know what you mean. As I read it, this section/policy is only about below ground remains (ie archaeology) and SAMs. History/historic can be anything, whether above or below ground. It would be preferable to keep this part about below ground archaeology and SAMs, and have another section that deals with non-designated but nonetheless historically significant assets. Historic does not mean archaeological.
