Commenting on this application

Registered No decision on our record yet.

The council doesn’t publish a closing date for this application. Councils normally allow at least 21 days for comments from when a site notice goes up or neighbours are written to, and comments that arrive later, before the decision, are often still considered. The council’s file has its own dates and the comment form. From the council’s file: consultation began Tue 20 Oct 2026.

Check the deadline and comment on the council’s website ↗

Comments are public: the council publishes them on the application’s file with the commenter’s name, and removes personal details such as addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. A comment should be about the proposal: the council can take only planning matters into account.

What the council can take into account

A planning decision must follow the council’s development plan unless “material planning considerations” point another way. Government guidance describes these as matters relevant to the planning decision. It says the courts have generally taken the view that planning is about the use of land in the public interest, so purely private interests, such as the effect on a neighbouring property’s value or the loss of a private right to light, could not be material considerations. Public views can be taken into account where they relate to planning matters; support or opposition is not in itself a reason to grant or refuse.

From GOV.UK’s Determining a planning application ↗ (checked 14 October 2026). The council’s page on commenting ↗ lists the matters it can and can’t take into account (read 14 October 2026).

Where it stands

The plans and documents are on the council’s file. When it is decided, the decision notice there will set out any conditions or the reasons for a refusal.

Conservation and heritage on this street

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 Tackleway 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:

5 listed buildings are on or beside Tackleway: the street’s page lists them.

Tree preservation orders within about 40 m of Tackleway’s line, from the council’s map data:

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 Tackleway 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 Tackleway’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.”

A street’s line is not an address. For a particular address, use the Environment Agency’s Check your long term flood risk ↗; for a planning site, its Flood map for planning ↗. Flood warnings in force now are on Live now.

Protected nature

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 bodies and officers the file lists as consulted, with the day each was asked.

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.

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.
