    Site reference: TC8
    Site name: Corner of Wellington Place and Albert Road; Cinema, Queens Road; 1-7 Wellington Place

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

    Use: Commercial/employment led mixed use, with retention of the cinema.  Option to include residential uses.

    Indicative capacity (net residential dwellings/floorspace): 3,500sqm

    Site specific development considerations based on draft Local Plan policies:

    Development on this site should:

    • Provide 25% affordable housing where new residential development is built in line with policy SP2
    • Seek to develop in a comprehensive or coordinated manner on this site which is in an  important location and forms a prominent gateway between the seafront and Town Centre
    • Retain the cinema on site or secure replacement provision within the Hastings Central area
    • Enhance the setting of the conservation area, including views of and from Hastings Castle
    • Manage the flow of traffic within the pedestrianised portion of the site
    • Enhance the public realm focused on the Roundel in the centre of the allocation to create a safe, legible and attractive streetscape to encourage positive daytime use
    • Secure parts of the site between dusk and dawn to support community cohesion
    • Introduce policy compliant 'greening' to the site in a form appropriate to the urban setting
    • Mitigate the impact of noise on residential dwellings with appropriate measures due to its location within the active night time economy setting of this area
