2 listed buildings are on or beside Robertson Street: the street’s page lists them.
Flood zones, the coast and protected nature on this street
We place an application by the street in its address, so these say where Robertson Street runs, not where the site’s boundary is. The application’s own documents on the council’s file show the site.
Flood zones
Part of Robertson Street is in Flood Zone 3 (the sea). That is the Environment Agency’s flood map for planning, which shows land that could flood from rivers or the sea, ignoring the benefits of any existing flood defences.
Locations in flood zone 3 have a high probability of flooding.
This means, in any year, land has:
a 1% (1 in 100) or more chance of flooding from rivers
a 0.5% (1 in 200) or more chance of flooding from the sea.
Flood zone 3 developments need a flood risk assessment as part of their planning application.
No Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Area of Conservation, Local Nature Reserve, ancient woodland or country park is within about 100 m of Robertson Street’s line, and it is outside the High Weald National Landscape. Protected nature in Hastings

Is a comment public?
The council’s page on commenting says: “All comments will be made available to view online and will be treated in accordance with our privacy policy. Comments will be redacted where they contain personal information or are inappropriate in their content.” It also says: “Please note that we do not accept anonymous comments.” Commenting on an application, on the council’s site ↗ (read 13 October 2026).
We count the comments on the council’s file. We never copy a commenter’s name, address or words, and we don’t list who objected: that is on the file.

If you think work doesn’t match what was approved
The council’s planning enforcement team looks into building work or a use that may not have permission, or may not follow the approved plans or conditions. Its page explains how to report it and which cases it deals with first: planning enforcement on the council’s site ↗
Our planning record starts on 21 April 2026, from the council’s weekly lists of new and decided applications. We list the site, the proposal, the dates, the decision, the comment counts and a permission’s conditions. We never copy a commenter’s or an individual applicant’s details; an applicant is named only when it is an organisation we can match exactly to a council, a registered charity or a company on Companies House. Planning is decided by the council, not by us.
