The Planning Services Manager presented this application for Proposed Development of a 1,950 Capacity Football Stadium, Sports Hall and Gymnasium, 2no. 3G Artificial Pitches with Changing Facilities and Spectator Stand, Multi-Use Games Area with Associated Car and Coach Parking. The Planning Services Manager gave updates – an additional letter of support from East Sussex College and a petition objecting to the application. The petition did not raise any new issues that are not already covered in the report. Comments have been received from the Parks and Open Space Officer who raises concerns about the loss of open space but have not formally objected to the application.
An additional condition is added to their recommendation. Condition no.35 which states prior to the occupation of any part of the development of building management manual to cover sustainability, renewable energy and accessibility shall be submitted and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The measures therein shall be implemented in full and maintained as such at all times. The reason for this is to ensure the sustainability objectives are realised.
A location plan, aerial view and photographs of the site were shown. It was explained how trees are around the perimeter. The surrounding area is a mix of industrial, residential, commercial, retail and leisure use. The site is a flood risk zone 1. A slide showing the proposed site plan was shown. This included the 1950 capacity football stadium with the floodlit grass pitch and four spectator stands. The principal stand is located on the southwest of the pitch and it will be 2 stories high. It will include a reception area, a ticket office, club and secretary offices, home and away changing rooms, sports bar and kitchen. The upper floor will contain a function room with bar and kitchen, the boardroom, spectator boxes and a training area and lounge. In addition, the proposal includes a sports hall and gymnasium. Two 3 G artificial pitches and multi use games area, changing facilities, spectator stands and associated car and coach parking, non match day and ancillary facilities would include integrated conference, hospitality, community, leisure and sports spaces. This is planned to be a phased development in two phases. The existing pedestrian and vehicular access off Ingleside is retained and an additional pedestrian link is created to Napier Rd. The planned opening times for the sports hall are 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The three 3G pitches are available for use from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. In terms of employment, it is anticipated to provide employment for 19 full time and 36 part time staff. A noise report is submitted, which concludes no harm. Some images were shown of what the site will look like. Sports England were satisfied with the proposal and did not make an objection. The benefits to the proposed development outweighed the harm from the loss of the open space.
In terms of ecology, the site is identified as having a low conservation value with no evidence of protected species. The report concludes that there would be no harm from the proposed development or associated floodlighting.
100 of the 421 trees on site are proposed to be removed none of which are covered by a Tree Preservation Order. East Sussex highways are satisfied that the development would not exacerbate peak time conditions on the Queensway Napier Rd junction and raised no objections in this respect. The land is owned by Hastings Borough Council.
The petitioner Mr Peter Bailey addressed the committee. He explained the pitch will be the minimum size allowed by the FA and the capacity of 1950 is smaller than some attendances at Pilot Field. There is no time scale for the proposed phase 2 expansion to 4000 capacity. The site has poor access and the proposed special buses have never been needed before. The 3G pitches are not suitable for matches beyond the Conference League and bad for players to practice on. Local residents have been canvassed and do not want to lose the green space or the trees. There are also concerns regarding supporters walking through the housing areas, noise, light pollution and parking. The proposed all-in-one stadium venue mixing facilities for meetings, parties and functions with footballers and supporters does not work, as has been proved by the local rugby club facilities. The petitioner highlighted the amount of litter that has been left after matches in local residents’ gardens. No plans have been disclosed for the financing arrangements and time scales and therefore no due diligence scrutiny possible. No details provided about the stated economic benefits to the town. This development relies on gifting or selling at below market price the publicly owned Pilot Field to the developers. The petitioner proposed that funds should be used to improve the Pilot Field site which is now in a state of disrepair due to long term neglect.
Councillors had no questions for the petitioner
Mr Billy Wood, Chief Executive of Hastings United Football Club addressed the committee and highlighted their community programs and what they do in the community. Mr Wood explained he has responded positively to requests from the Planning officers and consultees which has resulted in changes to the application. The social benefits of the application are significant with employment opportunities and construction jobs. The new facilities will help deliver wider aspirations for Community involvement. Mr Wood explained how the capacity will be able to be increased at a later stage if funding is in place. The average attendance for this season is in the range of 1200. The proposed pitch size is adequate for all senior football. Hastings United believes the club is the central pillar in the community and being connected to various organizations could ensure the whole community can get involved in activities There are not enough current facilities in Hastings for the 29 teams within the community program. The club does not want to relocate to another borough.
Councillors asked questions of the Applicant.
Councillors Evans as the Ward Councillor for Hollington addressed the committee. Councillor Evans set out four key points. Community consultation, based on talking to residents in Hollington they feel they have not been consulted by Hastings United. Most local grass roots clubs are keen for the town to have a stadium, but they say talks with Hastings United were not productive and they feel unlikely to benefit from the new stadium. The second point, health. The Tilekiln helipad is a key green space for Hollington, which is one of the most deprived areas in the country. It is very well used by dog walkers, kids having a kickabout, picnics in the summer, and grassroots football clubs. Some local football clubs claim the Tilekiln fields are the best grass pitches in town. Hollington has some of the worst health issues in the South East. Free recreational spaces encourage good metal and physical health. The Third Point, climate change, as a Council going forward, we are looking to move away from building on green spaces. Tilekiln helipad connects to the Marline Valley, which is a SSSI. It is surrounded by woods. If the development took place, the woodland would be fenced off and become inaccessible for walkers. Fourthly, the travel plan is now out of date as it is based on the capacity for 1950 attending. There were 50 allocated car parking spaces, and residents are worried that people will park on the estate and during matches the area will become very congested. For those intending to travel by public transport, not using the shuttle bus starting in town, there will be reliance on the current bus service which is unreliable. The majority of Hollington residents want to keep the Tilekiln helipad as a free green open space for recreation. It is a free asset for mental and physical health.
Councillors asked questions to the Planning Service Manager. The Planning Services Manager confirmed that the site is designated as a sports pitch and playing field. It is also designated as open space. The Community use agreement that's mentioned would have to be agreed.
Councillors debated.
Councillor Patmore proposed approval of the recommendation with the addition of condition 35, seconded by Councillor Beaver.
