SHELAA 2020 - TC11 - Muriel Matters House

Site reference: TC11
Site name: Muriel Matters House

Focus Area/Strategic Policy: Focus Area 1: Hastings Central

Use: Mixed use - hotel or residential led

Indicative capacity (net residential dwellings/floorspace): TBC

Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

Development on this site should:

• Preserve and enhance the setting of all heritage assets and particularly the  key townscape views to and from Hastings Castle, as the site sits within the setting of Hastings Castle (Scheduled Monument and Grade I listed), the Pelham Group of Grade II* listed buildings, the Old Town Conservation Area and Hastings Town Centre Conservation Area
• Provide for active uses at ground floor level which should include retail, leisure or other ‘town centre’ complementary uses
• Include policy compliant 'greening' to the site in a form appropriate to the urban setting
• Include mitigation  measures for wind effect. Provide easement to allow access to existing electrical network infrastructure at the rear of the building
• Mitigate the impact of noise on residential dwellings with appropriate measures due to location within the active night-time economy setting
• Avoid or mitigate any impacts on the Castle Hill Local Wildlife Site
• Contribute to pedestrian and cycling routes to Hastings Central and the seafront in line with existing schedule of works
