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.
Conservation and heritage on this street
None of the town’s 18 conservation areas reaches Bohemia Road as mapped.
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 ↗
2 listed buildings are on or beside Bohemia Road: the street’s page lists them.
Tree preservation orders within about 40 m of Bohemia Road’s line, from the council’s map data:
TPO 152: made 26 October 1993, confirmed 31 March 1994; 12 trees, 2 groups of trees, 3 woodlands in the order. The order (PDF) ↗
TPO 255: made 3 April 2007, confirmed 22 June 2007; 1 woodland in the order. The order (PDF) ↗
Indicative only — the council’s order is what counts. The council says of its tree order map data: “This dataset is under review and subject to change. Always refer to the Original Tree Preservation Order and associated plan for confirmation.” The council’s tree preservation orders page ↗
Flood zones, the coast and protected nature on this street
We place an application by the street in its address, so these say where Bohemia 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 Bohemia 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.”
Summerfields Wood LNR ↗ (Local Nature Reserve): Bohemia Road’s line passes within about 90 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

Comments on the application
The council’s file counts no comments from the public (as it stood on Wed 14 Oct 2026).
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.
