Application No
HS/OA/20/00180

Public Consultation
Yes – 3 objections. Council application on Council owned land.
The Principal Planning Officer presented the application for outline permission (seeking approval of access) for the erection of up to 38 residential dwellings. All other matters are reserved.
This application was considered at the Planning Committee meeting on 19th January 2021. The Planning Committee resolved to defer the application for 2 reasons: 1) to explore alternative play areas to be considered for improvement and upgrading, such as Watermill Drive play area and 2) whether it would be appropriate to require financial contributions towards the upgrading of the bus stop on Bodiam Drive adjacent to the site. Consultation has been undertaken with the Highways Authority and the Council’s Parks and Open Spaces Department. The Highway Authority commented that the replacement of a bus shelter at the site was not justified. The Play Area and Open Spaces Officer object to any proposal to allocate the contributions to the play area at Watermill Drive as it is on a long lease to Orbit. They require the Play Area contribution for improvement of the three sites at Kensington Close, Etchingham Drive and Beckley Close. These are located within 300 metres of the proposed development site.
Councillor Roberts proposed a motion, seconded by Councillor Patmore, to grant outline planning permission, with all other matters reserved.
Councillor Bacon did not participate or vote on this item as he was not present for the whole of the Officer presentation.
RESOLVED (9 votes for and 0 against) –
A) That the Planning Services Manager be authorised to issue planning permission upon completion of an agreement under S106 of the Town and Country Planning Act for the entire redevelopment site covered under HS/OA/20/00180 to secure:
· 40% Affordable Housing
· Financial contribution of £263 per dwelling – Towards library Contributions
· Financial payment of £30,000 – One off compensation for Biodiversity Loss
· Play Area Improvement Contribution based on the number of dwellings proposed as a part of reserved matters application towards the improvement/upgrading of play areas at Beckley Close, Kensington Close and Etchingham Drive.
In the event that the Agreement is not completed by 28 May 2021 that permission be refused on the grounds that the application does not comply with the provisions of paragraphs 106 and 108 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies H3 and EN3 of the Hastings Planning Strategy 2014 and Policies CI1, GH2 and HN8 of the Hastings Development Management Plan 2015 and relevant policies of the Hastings Planning Strategy 2011-2028, unless an extension of time has been agreed in writing by the Planning Services Manager.
B) Subject to the above
