Hastings Development Management Plan Proposed Submission Version

The council do not appear to have been interested in repair and maintenance of the convent buildings for many years, when they could have approached the current owners. It would appear from the above statement that there is an inclincation towards housing development on this green space and that this is being defended by a sudden expression of interest in the hisotric buildings? Any new owner should have a responsibility to the historic buildings and an enabling development should not be relied upon. There is no case for an enabling development.

I am concerned that:
1) the Italianate wing could be demolished;
2) the Convent and its grounds, which make an important contribution to the townscape of this deprived area, might be irrevocably destroyed by development;
3) that the open space should become accessible to the local residents and not carved up for economic gain by the developer.
The social health of the immediate area - that means peoples' daily needs - is far more important to our community than the economic imperative of the developers, and should be the Council's priority.
Thank you for your consideration.
