EVIDENCE HAS BEEN FOUND TODAY THAT THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN WAS ADOPTED
New Evidence has been found today. A Planning Application from 1956 stating that the General Development
Plan 1930 provisioning Speckled Wood as an Public Open Space was
adopted.The Trust and Charity Chairman had been researching Historical Planning Applications in regard Speckled Wood and located this Planning Application which clearly refused Planning on this estate on the basis that it was not shown allocated for residential purposes in the Development Plan .
The General Development Plan 1930 . Was an instrumental document that was responsible for shaping Hastings laying it out much as it is today. This is a fabulous find in the Archive an really proves why the Council needs to have it available as a Public resource. Without this historical information being made available we will loose vital information That shows us why Hastings is cherished so dearly.
