Councillor Howard, Ward Councillor for West St. Leonards, was present and spoke against the application.
With the agreement of the Chair, Councillor Beaver circulated some proposed reasons for refusal of the application, for the committee to consider.
Councillor Beaver proposed a motion against the officer’s recommendation, to refuse the application. This was seconded by Councillor Lee.
RESOLVED – by (6 votes to 4) that planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

The proposed building would by reason of its design, height, depth, massing, scale and proximity to the road and boundaries of the site, result in a bland, visually overbearing and congested form of development as viewed from Bulverhythe Road. The building would be notably larger than the typical form of development surrounding parts of the site and would appear as an incongruous feature, detrimentally affecting the character and appearance of the area and contrary to policy DM1 of the Hastings Local Plan Development Management Plan (2015);
