On iPhone or iPad, alerts need the site on your home screen: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, open Open Hastings from there, and the alert button appears 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
We have no planning applications or decisions for this street. That doesn’t mean nothing has happened here, only that the council’s weekly planning lists haven’t named it since our record starts on 21 April 2026.
Conservation, listed buildings and protected trees
None of the town’s 18 conservation areas reaches Brightling Avenue 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 ↗
The council’s map data has no tree preservation order within about 40 m of Brightling Avenue’s line.
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 ↗
None of Brightling Avenue’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 Brightling Avenue’s line, and it is outside the High Weald National Landscape. Protected nature in Hastings

Crime and policing in Ore ward
Brightling Avenue's middle is in Ore ward. These are the ward's figures, not this street's: we don't publish crime street by street.
In August 2026, the police recorded 40 crimes and 7 incidents of anti-social behaviour in Ore ward. In the 12 months to August 2026: 495 crimes and 114 incidents of anti-social behaviour. The ward's figures by category.
Its police team is Ore. The team's next meeting listed on data.police.uk: Community Meeting - Ore, Saturday 12 December 2026, 11am, Ore Community Centre.
The team's priorities, as the police word them: Speeding & Motorbikes.
The team's contact details on data.police.uk: email hastings@sussex.pnn.police.uk. Sussex Police's telephone number on data.police.uk is 101, the police's number for anything that isn't an emergency; Sussex Police's website. In an emergency, call 999.
From data.police.uk (Open Government Licence): crimes reported to and recorded by the police, each counted in the ward that holds its anonymised map point. About these figures.
GP, pharmacy and dentist
The nearest of each on NHS England's register, measured from the middle of this street in a straight line. Nearest doesn't mean a practice takes patients from this street or is taking new ones; each name links to its NHS website page, with its opening hours.
The practice hasn't told the NHS whether it accepts new NHS patients for routine care. Call to check. Information from the NHS website, read 30 October 2026.
