Save Ore Greenbelt
We the undersigned petition the council to Refuse planning permission for construction of a new development on greenbelt land next to Lidham Farmhouse on Rye Road covered by application HS/FA/20/00132.The development is in contravention of Hastings Borough Councils own policies. Which are:
1, Local Plan Development Management Plan Policy HN9 - Areas of Landscape Value - The above application clashes with this policy.
2, Local Plan Development Management Plan Policy HN8 - Biodiversity and Green Space - This application is in conflict with this policy.
3, Local Plan Planning Strategy 2011-2028 Policy EN7 - Conservation and Enhancement of Landscape Adopted - This application does not promote sustainable and green design.
4, Local Plan Planning Strategy 2011-2028 Policy FA5 - Strategic Policy for Eastern Area Adopted - This application is in conflict with this policy. The policy aims to prioritise new housing on previously developed land to assist regeneration where possible.
Furthermore, this development even with the conditions suggested by the planning officer, will destroy the amenity and privacy of the neighbouring property at Valkyries, Rye Road. For these reasons this development should not be given permission.We are in the midst of a climate emergency which Hastings Borough Council has recognised in its 2020 Climate Change Strategy. The environmental damage caused by this development on a piece of the town's dwindling greenbelt is contrary to the spirit and letter of every commitment in that strategy.
It's impact on species diversity, the creation of more unsustainable housing and the paving of yet more greenbelt land that is required to mitigate flooding is further reason why Hastings Borough Council should refuse this application.
This ePetition ran from 21/01/2021 to 26/02/2021 and has now finished.
27 people signed this ePetition.
