Catesby Estates and Rurban Estates say they are preparing plans for a care home and housing on land east of Beaney’s Lane. A spokesperson said: "Our vision is to plan a high quality, sustainable and well connected development providing a range of house types and sizes, including much needed affordable housing."
They are inviting people to have a say on the proposals. The spokesperson added: "Catesby Estates and Rurban Estates are keen to hear your views before finalising the proposals and submitting planning applications to Hastings Borough Council and Rother District Council."
The developers say they are proposing approximately 120 new homes, of which 30 per cent would be affordable housing, a care home, a new landscaped public open green space, children’s play area and pedestrian and cycle routes.
The spokesperson said: "We are preparing an outline planning application. An outline planning application seeks to establish whether the principle and size of a proposed development is acceptable before a second detailed Reserved Matters planning application is put forward. A Reserved Matters application typically includes information on the layout, landscaping and appearance of the development. Development cannot take place until the Reserved Matters Application has been consented.
"Local residents and statutory consultees, for example the Environment Agency and the Highway Authority, will also have the opportunity to formally comment on the applications once they are submitted and registered with Hastings Borough Council and Rother District Council."
The developers are inviting people to give feedback via a consultation at www.catesby-hastings.co.uk
