Been thinking about the presentation and come to the conclusion that this is an exercise in selling a development proposal, to say, the district council/lottery commission, which will actually be the Bexhill group(+ Jamie).
With this in mind i was thinking about what makes St. Leonards a better site than Bexhill to choose for master plan and it seems to me to be the unique history and character of the 'model village' and its relatively intact layout( + later arts and crafts, and art deco stuff).
What we don't want to do is just present a load of information. We're selling our site, whats right, whats wrong and why its worth investing in the park to help improve the character and importance of the whole 'village/sea front'.
O.K, so does this make sense or am i just saying what everyone already knew.
Please write your thoughts.
Andy.

Yes, think it would be good to have a common theme to the different sections of the presentations, i.e. positive and negative aspects of the area
The link I posted last night, (and fixed just now) to the Historical Coastal Towns report is really good - look at pages 5 & 8 for ideas - Morecambe is almost exactly the same as St Leonards! with regency architecture and art deco - a fantastic precedence for regeneration and Jamie keeps mentioninig precedence.
