The decision notice on the council’s file (published Tue 20 Oct 2026) attaches 3 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: 01 Location Plan A, 02 Layout Plan A, 03 Elevations A.
Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
Construction management
Prior to the commencement of development, a Tree Protection Plan (TPP), prepared in accordance with BS 5837:2012, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority (LPA). The TPP shall identify appropriate tree protection measures and Construction Exclusion Zones (CEZs) for retained trees adjacent to the site. The measures shall make provision for the exclusion of construction traffic, plant, excavation, storage of materials and other potentially damaging activities from protected rooting areas. The approved tree protection measures shall be installed before construction activities commence and retained for the duration of the works.
Reason: To safeguard retained trees adjacent to the site from damage associated with construction traffic, plant, storage and other construction activities.
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
Conservation and heritage on this street
None of the town’s 18 conservation areas reaches Castleham 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 ↗
Tree preservation orders within about 40 m of Castleham Road’s line, from the council’s map data:
TPO 37: made 15 July 1970, confirmed 14 November 1973; 15 trees, 9 groups of trees, 30 areas of trees, 31 woodlands 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 Castleham 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 Castleham 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.”
Ancient woodland: Castleham Road’s line passes within about 100 m of 1 parcel on Natural England’s inventory.
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

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.
