Further to this a Travel Plan has been prepared and submitted in relation to the new Academy. 1.1.3 Pre-application discussions were held with officers of ESCC at a meeting on 15 October 2010 followed by further consultation during the preparation of this TAR. 1.2 THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL 1.2.1 The proposed Hastings Academy will cater for approximately 900 students and will replace the existing Hillcrest School situated on the same site. This Academy will be one of two new academies that are proposed in the Hastings area, the other being to the west in St Leonards-on-sea. The Academy will be a state funded all-ability school funded by a number of sponsors, with the principal sponsor being the University of Brighton, supported by BT and ESCC. The Education Brief for the Academy has been defined as follows: “The sponsors’ vision is to provide an inclusive, sustainable and innovative lifelong education environment where the Academy works together with community education and business partners to equip and encourage individuals to contribute to a prosperous future". 1.2.2 The proposals will create a new environment which is more conducive to learning. Improvements to the built environment also have their part to play in regenerating the area and facilitating access to ensure the new facilities are appropriately connected to the community that they serve. 1.2.3 This TAR sets out the principles to be adopted in the design of the site as well as those measures to be implemented in seeking agreement to the proposals from ESCC Highways Department. 1.3 REPORT STRUCTURE 1.3.1 Section 2 of this report will consider the national and local policy that will impact the provision of this scheme, while Section 3 will provide information on the current site and local conditions. 1.3.2 Section 4 will outline the development proposals, including the phasing issues impacting the development, and Section 5 will review the existing Hillcrest School Travel Plan undertaken in 2008, further to this a separate Travel Plan in relation to the Academy proposals has been prepared and submitted. Section 6 will provide the necessary evidence base that the proposed access can satisfactorily serve the development. 1.3.3 Finally Section 7 will provide a summary and conclusion to the report. 1 2 Policy 2.1 THE NATIONAL POLICY CONTEXT 2.1.1 There are a number of National Polices that are central to the vision for the new Academy in Hastings. These are: Children’s Plan The Department for Children, School and Families: Every Child Matters Harnessing Technology/Next Generation Learning 14-19 Agenda Extended Schools and Community Access Workforce Reform 2.2 PLANNING POLICY GUIDANCE NOTE 13: TRANSPORT (MARCH 2001) 2.2.1 PPG13: Transport, published in March 2001, sets out the Government’s overarching objectives for the development of transport infrastructure in co-ordination with land-use policies. 2.2.2 PPG13 advocates that a Transport Assessment should be prepared and submitted alongside the planning application. This TAR is in line with the parameters and advice set out in PPG13. 2.2.3 The main sustainability thrust is that walking is the most important mode of travel at the local level and offers the greatest potential to replace short car trips, particularly those under two kilometres. The document acknowledges that cycling also has the potential to substitute for short car trips, particularly those less than five kilometres, and to form part of a longer journey by public transport. PPG13 states that the likely availability and use of public transport is also a very important ingredient in determining local policies designed to reduce the need to travel by car. 2.2.4 PPG13 also states that: “Further education and schools are major generators of travel, and where existing sites should develop, expand or redevelop, they should improve access by public transport, walking and cycling.” 2.2.5 Parking is identified as having a major influence on the means people use for their journeys suggesting that it can be more significant than public transport levels. 2.2.6 In summary, the guidance set out in PPG13 forms a framework which seeks to help people to reduce the need to travel, reduce the length of journeys and make it safer and easier for people to access jobs, shopping, leisure facilities, schools and services by public transport, walking and cycling. 2.3 LOCAL POLICY CONTEXT 2.3.1 The proposed development at Hastings Academy aims to follow the direction set out in the ‘Hastings Local Development Framework Core Strategy – Preferred Approaches’ and incorporate some of its set objectives; Objective 3 – indicates the need to identify sufficient land and floor space that will support the needs and opportunities for business, retail, education and skill sectors 2 to strengthen the local economy and enable increases in economic activity rates, employment rates and average wages. Objective 8 – indicates the need for major developments to identify and promote alternatives to car use including walking, cycling and public transport. 2.3.2 The Core Strategy also discusses the issues with education in Hastings when it discusses ‘the need for improved educational attainment is considered to be the cornerstone of many regeneration initiatives in the town’. 2.3.3 In addition, the Core Strategy indicates that restricted land availability for development means that there is a need to make the best use of previously developed land in urban areas much as in the case for this Academy. 3 3 Existing Conditions 3.1 SITE LOCATION 3.1.1 The existing school is located on the eastern edge of Hastings in East Sussex as shown in Figure 1. The school is currently accessed from the A259 Rye Road, a single lane carriageway which contains a number of frontage accesses along the route. On-street parking is permitted along this section, however, double yellow lines and ‘SCHOOL KEEP CLEAR’ markings restrict parking in front of the existing Hillcrest School. The A259 Rye Road forms part of the County’s strategic highway network and connects Hastings Town Centre and Eastbourne to the west, and Rye and Folkestone to the east. 3.2 SURVEYS 1.1.1 As part of the 2008 Hillcrest School Travel Plan a survey of travel habits of both pupils and staff was undertaken in January 2008. The results of the survey are summarised below in Table 3.1. Table 3.1 – Summary of 2008 Pupil and Staff Survey (mode of travel to and from school) Pupils Staff TO FROM TO FROM Mode School School Preferred School School Preferred Walk 58% 61% 43% 8% 8% 26% Cycle 0% 0% 7% 5% 5% 16% Car 8% 6% 12% 66% 74% 39% Train 0% 0% 1% 0% 0% 0% Car Share 11% 11% 14% 16% 11% 11% Bus 22% 19% 13% 5% 3% 3% Other 0% 2% 4% 0% 0% 5% SOURCE: Hillcrest School Travel Plan, 2008. 1.1.2 Amongst pupils the most popular mode of travel is walking, making up roughly 60% of journeys to and from the site. Roughly a fifth of pupils travel via bus, making it the second most popular mode of travel, and in comparison this is roughly equal to the number that travel by car.

  • 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.
