“…we would advocate the benefit of a conservation management plan being undertaken for the pier.

This would support a strategic and sustainable approach to the economic success of the pier and prevent piecemeal development that may harm the significance of the listed structure.”

“no context has been provided regarding the owner’s longer term plan for buildings on the pier.

It would be helpful to understand what the long-term vision for the pier is, and how these temporary structures fit into that longer-term vision.”

15 Jan - “I note that the applicant has still not addressed my previously raised request that he gives more information regarding how the temporary structures on the pier fit into the longer-term vision for the development of the asset.

I still think that it would be helpful, particularly for planning committee in making the final decision on this application, if we could understand how this current application fits into the future plan for Hastings Pier.”
