Flood zones, the coast and protected nature on this street
We place an application by the street in its address, so these say where Farmlands Close 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 Farmlands Close’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.”
No Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Area of Conservation, Local Nature Reserve, ancient woodland or country park is within about 100 m of Farmlands Close’s line, and it is outside the High Weald National Landscape. Protected nature in Hastings

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.
