    Response

    Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding, we have introduce a new Freedom of Information system and have experienced a few problems.

    1(a) - We do not collate this information. Information on planning applications can be viewed on the public access system: http://publicaccess.hastings.gov.uk/online-applications/

    1(b) The latest reports on affordable housing completions can be located in the Local Plan Monitoring Report 2016/17 at: https://www.hastings.gov.uk/content/planning/planning_policy/pdfs/Final_complete_LPMR_January_2018.pdf

    2) Brownfield: 11-14 dwellings = 20% 15+ dwellings or 0.5 ha or more in size (irrespective of the number of dwellings) = 25% Greenfield: 11+ dwellings = 40% requirement

    3) 2013-14 - 12 2014-15 - 18 2015-16 - 16 2016-17 - 5 2017-to present date of this request - 4

    4) We do not collate data on loss or gain compared with policy set out in the Local Plan. There were 14 S106 Agreements which resulted in agreement to provide affordable homes.

    2013-14 - 129

    In addition to the above, there are also financial contributions for affordable housing which have been provided as an alternative to, or in addition to, affordable homes.
