Listed buildings This asks for listed building consent to work on a listed building.
What is proposed
In the council’s words, from its weekly list:
Internal alterations including partition layout changes, new doors and joinery, and refurbishment… cut short in the council’s list; the full wording is on its file
The decision notice on the council’s file (published Fri 16 Oct 2026) attaches 2 conditions. In the council’s words, each with the reason it gives:
Time limit to start
The work to which this consent relates shall be begun before the expiration of three years beginning with the date on which this consent is granted.
Reason: This condition is imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section 18 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
Built to the approved plans
The works hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: Location Plan (22/12/2025) 21-0022-01G 21-0022-02B 21-0022-03B 21-0022-04C 21-0022-05D 21-0022-06D 21-0022-07D 21-0022-08A 21-0022-09A 21-0022-10B Statement of Heritage Significance (21-0022 (d) September 2026) Works Report and Material Schedule (21-0022 (e) October 2026) Section Drawing Steel Beams Plan Drawing Steel Beams

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 Pelham Crescent 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:
1-8, Pelham Crescent (See details for further address information)
Flood zones, the coast and protected nature on this street
We place an application by the street in its address, so these say where Pelham Crescent 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 Pelham Crescent’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 Pelham Crescent’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.
