Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

Development on this site should:

• Provide 25% affordable housing in line with policy SP2
• Have regard to the impact on both the local street scene and wider views including the protection of important views of Hastings Castle, including existing far-reaching views from the footpath linking Priory Close to Braybrooke Road
• Sustain and enhance the setting of the Blacklands Conservation Area and Alexandra Park to the north and provide innovative solutions for access and any necessary on-site parking taking account of the shape and topography of the site
• Respond to the descending topography of Braybrooke Road, with the built form separated by green corridors to retain the special characteristics of the local area
• Retain and protect the tree belt between the site and the railway line
• Investigate and mitigate any potential impacts of land contamination
• Strengthen pedestrian and cycling links to the surrounding area, in particular access to existing footpaths to Waterworks Road and Alexandra Park
• Form a sensitive mix of typologies from private outdoor space, in order to maximise views of the surrounding area
