Land Rear Of, 421-447 Bexhill Road, St Leonards-on-sea
Conditions, certificates and amendments This asks the council to approve details it required when it granted HS/OA/19/00153 (conditions 6, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17).
What is proposed
In the council’s words, from its weekly list:
Discharge of Conditions 6 (access); 12 (drainage details); 14 (surface water details); 15 (surface water discharge); 16 (drainage system maintenance and management); and, 17 (flood risk during construction) of Planning Permission HS/OA/19/00153
The decision notice on the council’s file sets out any conditions attached to a permission, or the reasons for a refusal. Read it on the file, under Documents.
Measured along the street’s line against the council’s boundaries. Whether a particular building is inside depends on where the boundary runs: each area’s page on the council’s site has its map. All 18 conservation areas
The council’s Article 4 direction on houses in multiple occupation covers the whole town (in force since 2 July 2012): turning a house into a shared house for three to six people needs planning permission. The council’s page ↗
1 listed building is on or beside Bexhill Road: the street’s page lists it.
Flood zones, the coast and protected nature on this street
We place an application by the street in its address, so these say where Bexhill Road 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 Bexhill Road is in Flood Zone 3 (rivers and the sea). Part of it is in Flood Zone 2 (rivers and 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.
Locations in flood zone 2 have a medium probability of flooding.
This means, in any year, land has:
between a 1% and 0.1% (between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000) chance of flooding from rivers
between a 0.5% and 0.1% (between 1 in 200 and 1 in 1,000) chance of flooding from the sea.
Flood zone 2 developments need a flood risk assessment as part of their planning application.
The Environment Agency’s erosion map covers this frontage: 4 stretches of policy unit 4C25 Bulverhythe and Glyne Gap ↗ in the Shoreline Management Plan, whose policy is Hold the line (Maintain/replace) in all three periods, 2005 to 2105: “Where protection is currently provided by coastal defence structures or managed beaches, and the intention is to retain a defence along approximately the current alignment. This will involve replacing defences when needed. Defence type, method and standard of protection may be modified over time.”
With Shoreline Management Plans delivered: 0 m by 2055, 0 m by 2105.
No Future Intervention: 11 to 50 m by 2055, 31 to 126 m by 2105.
Part of Bexhill Road’s line is inside the map’s No Future Intervention zone to 2105, and none of it inside the zone to 2105 with the plan delivered.
The figures are the width of the map’s erosion zone, inland from today’s shoreline, on the Higher Central allowance. In the Agency’s words: “Two periods: Medium Term (up to 2055) and Long Term (up to 2105).” “Two management scenarios: With Shoreline Management Plans delivered and No Future Intervention.” “Three climate scenarios: Present Day climate (2020), Higher Central allowance and Upper End allowance. The two allowances use sea level rise data from UKCP18 RCP8.5 70th and 95th percentiles respectively.” “All distances are cumulative over time and given in metres.”
The data and associated information are intended for guidance only - it cannot provide details for individual properties.
The data shows areas of land likely to be at erosion risk but does not show the precise future position of the shoreline.
Erosion may happen faster or slower than what we show, and risk may change over time.
No Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Area of Conservation, Local Nature Reserve, ancient woodland or country park is within about 100 m of Bexhill Road’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.
