Removal of condition 1 (restrictive occupancy) of Planning Permission HS/FA/67/00554 to allow for… cut short in the council’s list; the full wording is on its file
The decision notice on the council’s file (published Thu 16 Jul 2026) attaches 6 conditions. In the council’s words, each with the reason it gives:
Time limit to start
The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.
Reason: This condition is imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
Built to the approved plans
The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: Layout Plan - PL 101A.
Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
Bins and recycling
Prior to occupation as a self-contained residential unit, details of refuse storage are to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The refuse store shall then be provided on site in accordance with the approved details prior to occupation and thereafter be retained for that purpose.
Reason: In order to secure a well planned development that functions properly.
Parking, access and cycles
Prior to occupation as a self-contained residential unit, details of cycle storage must be submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority. The cycle store shall then be provided on site in accordance with the approved details prior to occupation and thereafter be retained for that use and shall not be used other than for the parking of cycles.
Reason: In order that the development site is accessible by non-car modes and to meet the objectives of sustainable development.
Trees and landscaping
The development shall not be occupied as a self-contained residential unit, until a landscaping plan has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This plan shall include details of any proposed boundary treatment to separate the garden from No.130 Harold Road along with details of any landscaping proposed to the front of the unit. The boundary treatment and landscaping shall then be provided on site in accordance with the approved details prior to occupation.
Reason: To secure a well-planned development that functions well and in order to protect the visual amenities of the locality.
Permitted development rights removed
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning [General Permitted Development] Order 2015 (or any order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification), no extensions or alterations to the unit or the roof of the unit, hereby approved, permitted by Classes A, AA, B & C of Part 1 of Schedule 2 or AC of Part 20 of Schedule 2 of the Order shall be carried out without the prior written consent of the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To protect the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties and the visual amenities of the locality.
We copy the numbered conditions and their reasons and nothing else from the notice; its notes to the applicant are on the file. The label on each is ours, by rules on the council’s wording. The conditions the council attaches, by kind of application
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 ↗
3 listed buildings are on or beside Harold Road: 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 Harold Road runs, not where the site’s boundary is. The application’s own documents on the council’s file show the site.
Flood zones
None of Harold Road’s line is in Flood Zone 2 or 3 on the Environment Agency’s flood map for planning. In the Agency’s words: “This means a site in flood zone 1 could still flood now or in the future.”
High Weald National Landscape ↗ (National Landscape (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty)): Harold Road’s line passes within about 10 m of it.
Hastings Country Park (Country park): Harold Road’s line passes within about 10 m of it.
Natural England’s designations within about 100 m of the street’s mapped line. Each official page says what is protected there. Protected nature in Hastings
The council’s file counts no comments from the public (as it stood on Thu 15 Oct 2026).
Who the council consulted
The bodies and officers the file lists as consulted, with the day each was asked.
Conservation, asked Fri 17 Apr 2026
Consultee responses on the file
Responses filed as consultee comments, named as the file names them, with the day each was published. What they say is in each document on the council’s file.
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.
