Sustainability Appraisal of the Core Strategy
Appraisal Methodology

What we propose is the matrix laid out in the SA is used to allow better transparency in measurement & enforcement of different, often conflicting, priorities within the strategy. This matrix assesses each PA against a wide range of measurable factors. Every year this needs to be revisited to ensure that dwelling space is not outstripping education & health infrastructure. it also needs to be informed by the reasons for rejecting proposals & explain where & why compromises have been made. (Planning cannot allow precedent to open up second rate development;compromise needs to be restrained within limits). Such appraisal needs ot be tied into other community structures such as LSP & AMBs.

We are unconvinced by the present SA. Many double green ticks we feel are glib & should be more questioned. We will select a high risk example to illustrate another concern - objective 14 which incorporates marine environment. The concentrated retail & office space planned for the town centre would appear to jeopardise the quality of the marine environment. The sea is blatantly a supreme asset of the town. Should we be endorsing a strategy that is prepared to risk Hastings being known for its foul seashore?
