The net capacity of 165 is far too large for the site. The development will ruin a local wildlife site. The open space alongside the historic Grade11 listed buildings give context & unique value to them. Cramming housing into LRA1, 2 & 3 will not provide any benefits such as adding to the green infrastructure network or add to any ecological or recreational value as stated in para.6.19. This inclusion is an example of overbuilding destroying open spaces ruining the character of Hastings. Space is the most under-rated architectural merit. Mitigation measures rarely work & are never monitored.
