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: site notice date given as Fri 13 Nov 2026.
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.
Consultation: site notice date given as Fri 13 Nov 2026
Status: Registered, no decision on our record yet
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.
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 Croft Road 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 ↗
23 listed buildings are on or beside Croft Road: the street’s page lists them.
Tree preservation orders within about 40 m of Croft Road’s line, from the council’s map data:
TPO 78: made 21 January 1983, confirmed 2 December 1983; 39 trees, 20 groups of trees, 1 area of trees, 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 Croft 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 Croft 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.”
No Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Area of Conservation, Local Nature Reserve, ancient woodland or country park is within about 100 m of Croft Road’s line, and it is outside the High Weald National Landscape. Protected nature in Hastings
The council’s file counts no comments from the public (as it stood on Fri 30 Oct 2026). The count can change until the application is decided; we check it at most once a week.

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.
