The Proposed Submission Development Management Plan A 12 week consultation period was held on the 'Proposed Submission' version of the Development Management Plan from 21 January until 4.30pm on 15 April 2013. This is the document that will identify sites for development and provide specific policies to be used in the determination of planning applications. This is intended to be the final round of consultation before the document is sent to the Secretary of State for independent examination.

Proposed Submission version Between 25 May and 17 August 2012 the final stage of consultation was undertaken on the Hastings Local Plan, Proposed Submission version of the Planning Strategy. This was the final round of consultation before the document is sent to the Secretary of State for independent examination. Comments received on previous stages (Issues amd Options, Preferred Approaches and Informal documents) were taken into account where applicable. The formal stage of consultation required comments (referred to as representations) to centre on two key questions: a) Has the Planning Strategy been prepared in accordance with legal requirements (in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004)?b) Does the Planning Strategy meet the "Tests of Soundness", i.e. is it: Positively prepared?Justified?Effective?Consistent with national planning policy?
We developed some detailed guidance to explain more about these questions, and the things that needed to be considered in answering them and also arranged some information sessions and drop in surgeries to explain this complex final stage and assist local people and organisations with the process and making a representation.

Development Management Plan including Site Allocations Focused consultation Between February and April 2012 we consulted on an early draft of the Development Management Plan, which set out potential development sites and the detailed policies needed to manage such development.
