  • Section Three – Site Allocations
    Section Three – Site Allocations Hastings Development Management Plan Revised Proposed Submission Version 2014 51 Section Three - Site Allocations Introduction to Site Allocations 6.1 Policy DS1 of the Planning Strategy sets a target of at least 3400 new homes to meet the housing needs of Hastings between 2011 and 2028. This will not all be new housing allocations, as the total includes homes completed and under construction and existing planning permissions. Strategic Policies FA1, FA2 and FA5 show a broad distribution of the proposed housing land supply. Individual sites are to be identified in this Plan. 6.2 Similarly, Policy DS2 identifies a need for the development of up to 70,000m2 of employment floor space in the town between 2008 and 2028. 6.3 To provide a local perspective and sense of place, the Planning Strategy divides the town into 13 Planning Focus Areas. These are areas based upon statistical Super Output Areas and they have an identifiable community or geography or where landscape or function means that they make a logical area for spatial planning. A plan showing the boundaries of the 13 areas is shown over the page. 6.4 This section of the Development Management Plan looks at the Planning Focus Areas (referred to as Focus Areas) in some detail. Set out within the pages for each area is a description of the main characteristics of it and a vision for its future. 6.5 The housing and employment allocations are set out in a schedule in each Focus Area (FA). This is followed by a small site map and accompanying allocation details.

The school will cater for 900 pupils aged between 11 and 16 as well as employing approximately 120 members of staff. A Travel Plan was produced by Hillcrest School in 2008 in order to secure funding for a number of improvement schemes.
