Since December 2025: 2 planning applications and 2 planning decisions. Each dot is one of them, in the month it happened. Our planning records start in April 2026 and our council papers in September 2025, and street problems show only while they are open, so earlier months may look quieter than they really were.

Planning and building here

Closing dates you can still act on, applications and decisions on the street, appeals, the protections that cover it, and the council's land and licensing papers.

Planning on this street

Every planning application and decision we hold for Barley Lane, 2 in all (2 granted and 0 refused), newest first. Our record starts on 21 April 2026, from the council’s weekly lists; earlier applications here are on the council’s own planning search. An application made before then appears only if it was decided since, and then without its earlier dates.

Problems reported, roadworks, how long reports take to close, and who looks after the road.

Who looks after this street

Partly adopted. East Sussex County Council’s map shows part of Barley Lane as adopted and part not. The county looks after the adopted part (report a problem to East Sussex Highways); the rest may be a private road or a private street. The county’s map shows which part is which.

The county’s Highway Land Information Team answers questions about road adoption (highwaysearches@eastsussex.gov.uk, 01273 482 316).

Roadworks across town

In the last 13 months

From the permits utilities and East Sussex County Council apply for in DfT Street Manager, read from its open archive (September 2025 to September 2026; newest entry 30 September 2026). The archive is published monthly, so works booked since then, and emergencies, aren't here yet, and planned dates can change.

How long street reports here took to close

Of the 1 problem reported near Barley Lane that our record holds, 1 is closed on FixMyStreet and 0 are still open. The median time from report to close was 28 days: half the closed reports took longer, half less. Reports still open aren’t in that figure.

“Closed” is FixMyStreet’s status, set by the council or the person who reported it. It is not proof that anything was fixed. Our record of reports starts on 3 August 2026. Older open reports have been checked again for closure since 11 October 2026; before then a report that closed later could still show as open here.
