Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

Development on this site should:

• Support placemaking at key point of ‘gateway’ into town, with associated scope to change perceptions,higher density, taller development is appropriate in this highly accessible location
• Avoid adverse impact on the amenity of adjoining residents, particularly those in Devonshire Road and South Terrace
• Create new multifunctional private amenity spaces within the site, this may be at multiple elevations together with policy compliant ‘greening’ in a form appropriate to the urban setting
• Improve access routes to existing open spaces at Alexandra Park, Summerfields Woods,Cornwallis and Linton Gardens and Hastings beach
• Enhance  walking and cycling connectivity to the surrounding area particularly to the main transport terminus, town centre, seafront and parks and gardens including the proposed strategic cycle network to the north of the site to include the safeguarding of an adequate width of land to enable the implementation of the strategic network of cycle routes and contribute to its creation and management as appropriate
• Take  account of Southern Water's underground infrastructure in the design of the layout of the site. Easements would be required, which may affect the site layout or require diversion, and these should be clear of all proposed buildings and tree planting
