Development of the new Local Plan will ensure the local plan is up to date, can meet the needs of the Borough’s current and future residents, and is able to work towards achieving the requirements for housing delivery. Hastings is an urban coastal town in East Sussex with a population of just over 90,000. The town boasts a number of European and nationally designated sites, and these natural areas, together with the coast, rivers, woods, streams, fields, parks and open spaces are the assets that make up the natural fabric of the town. In contrast to the relatively affluent rural areas that surround the Borough, Hastings contains significant pockets of deprivation. This deprivation has a knock-on effect resulting in higher rates of long-term illness, and poor lifestyle choices with people tending to have worse health and lower life expectancy compared to other areas. There is increasing pressure to deliver new housing in the Borough. With a diverse and growing population, it is more important than ever to ensure that people have a local network of parks and open spaces to provide them with the opportunity to improve their health and quality of life. The main objectives for this study are to: Update the evidence base for informal open space and play in the Borough; Set out the wider benefits of open space and play for Hastings residents; Audit and assess the quantity, quality, accessibility and value of open space and play facilities now and into the future, spatially identifying deficits and surpluses and setting appropriate local standards; and Provide evidence within a strategic context to inform any future related strategies, planning policy and developer contributions. The methodology for the assessment of open spaces in the Borough reflects the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 (NPPF) and has been informed by LUC I 3 Chapter 1 Executive summary Hastings Strategic Open and Play Space Assessment July 2020 recognised guidance on planning for open space and play Key findings space.

There are some areas deficient in access to two or three levels of the hierarchy, predominantly these are around Approach to the study the edge of the Borough at the settlement edges: There are 172 sites totalling 703.68ha throughout the Baldslow (West Spatial Area) Borough. 158 of these sites were subject to a detailed audit Around the B2093 in the north of the West Spatial Area based on the Green Flag Award themes. Rye Road near Bachelor’s Bump (East Spatial Area) Of the total quantity of open space, 681.34ha are considered accessible. In addition to this, there are 17.16ha of Northern area of St Helen’s (East Spatial Area) allotments in the Borough. There are also a number of small areas deficient in Consultation with Hastings residents and local access to two or three levels of the hierarchy within more stakeholders has informed this study.

  • Review Into the Best Value Delivery of the Environmental Health out of Hours Service for Sevenoaks District Council [And Dartford Borough Council]
    REVIEW INTO THE BEST VALUE DELIVERY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OUT OF HOURS SERVICE FOR SEVENOAKS DISTRICT COUNCIL [AND DARTFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL] Cabinet - 19 April 2018 Report of the: Chief Officer Environmental & Operational Services Status: For recommendation to Cabinet Also considered by: Direct and Trading Advisory Committee - 13 March 2018 Key Decision: Yes Executive Summary: The shared service Environmental Health team currently provides an Out of Hours (OOH) Service to deal with complaints from residents within the Sevenoaks and Dartford districts. This service currently operates everyday throughout the year between 17:00 and 22:00 Monday to Thursday, 17:00 to 00:00 Friday, 08:00 to 00:00 Saturday and 08:00 to 22:00 Sunday. Demand for the service is shown to vary significantly throughout the year and by day of the week. Many of the calls received are not urgent and do not require immediate action. These can be managed the next working day during office hours in accordance with agreed performance indicators. In the past 18 months, experienced officers have left the OOH Service, and there is now a serious issue with fully staffing the Service in its existing format. This report recommends that the OOH service targets Environmental Health Officer resource at times of peak demand whilst simultaneously empowering the CCTV team to respond, record and provide advice to the majority of ‘one off’ complaints received by the service. The existing OOH provision for serious or emergency public health complaints will be extended via a year round cascade call system. This report supports the Key Aim of Safe Communities and Green Environment Portfolio Holder Cllr.

It shows how improvements can be made to public spaces without harming their valued character, including specific recommendations for works to surfaces, street furniture, new equipment, traffic management infrastructure and environmental improvements. This supplementary document summarises the key messages of Streets for All in the context of the South East. It begins by explaining how historic character adds value to the region’s contemporary public realm before summarising some of the priorities and opportunities for further improvements to the South East’s streetscape. This guidance has been prepared by Martin Small, Historic Places Advisor in the South East, and Rowan Whimster. First published by English Heritage 20Ǔǘ.

  • THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES of SOUTH EAST ENGLAND Recommendations to the South East
    THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH EAST ENGLAND Recommendations to the South East LEP Prof Steve Fothergill Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research Sheffield Hallam University Final report December 2012 1 Summary This report considers the policy implications arising from a statistical review of the South East’s coastal communities, completed in April 2012. It also builds on discussions involving coastal local authorities, private sector representatives and other local partners. The statistical review identified the South East’s coastal communities, which have a combined population of one million or around a quarter of the LEP total, as on average an area of social and economic disadvantage, well adrift of LEP averages and sometimes behind national averages as well. The review also flagged up important differences between places along the coast and put forward a six-fold classification of areas that has won wide support. The present report makes ten recommendations: 1. The South East LEP needs to be ‘spatially aware’. The big internal differences within the LEP area, and in particular the distinctive needs of the coastal strip, need to inform the full range of LEP activities. 2. Strategic plans and priorities should give special attention to the coastal strip. This includes in the allocation of resources. 3. Transport links to parts of the coast need improvement. Accessibility remains an important constraint in a number of local areas. 4. The seaside tourist industry should be treated as one of the drivers of economic growth. Tourism along the coast continues to employ as many people as manufacturing, and there are opportunities for growth.

Many of the Board’s activities have benefits and opportunities for biodiversity, not least its water level management and ditch maintenance work. It is hoped that this Biodiversity Action Plan will help the Board to maximise the biodiversity benefits from its activities and demonstrate its contribution to the Government’s UK Biodiversity Action Plan targets as part of the Biodiversity 2020 strategy. The Board has adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan as one of its policies and subject to available resources is committed to its implementation. It will review the plan periodically and update it as appropriate. Bill Gower Chairman of the Board PEVENSEY AND CUCKMERE WLMB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS & ACRONYMS 1 1
