2021 draft Local Plan consultation

In 2021, we consulted on a new draft Hastings Local Plan (Regulation 18) document. The consultation period lasted eight weeks and ended on 24 March 2021.

The comments you shared with us have been listened to, and many of these suggestions have helped us to shape another version of the Local Plan.

As a result of changes which have happened since 2021 with increases in Government housing targets amongst other things we intend to run another Regulation 18 consultation, (which we are calling Regulation 18B) in early 2026. 

You can view the earlier 2021 Regulation 18 consultation on the draft Local Plan documents through our consultation software (under previous consultation documents), including the interim Sustainability Appraisal that was prepared at that time, or view and download the 2021 documents below.
