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 Combe Valley Way 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

checked that each one is about this street. County papers cover all of East
Sussex, and some street names are used in other towns too. The quote under
each paper shows where the name appears.
