The decision notice on the council’s file (published Fri 16 Oct 2026) attaches 1 condition. In the council’s words, each with the reason it gives:
Built to the approved plans
The development hereby permitted shall be retained in accordance with the following approved plans: 26.1605/001, 26.1605/102 B, 26.105/003 B
Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
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 street index lists these properties on George Street under Article 4 directions, which take away some building work that wouldn’t otherwise need planning permission:
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 ↗
Historic England’s list has an entry on this street that gives the same house number as this application. Check the entry to see whether it is this building:
Flood zones, the coast and protected nature on this street
We place an application by the street in its address, so these say where George Street 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 George Street’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 George Street’s line, and it is outside the High Weald National Landscape. Protected nature in Hastings

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.
