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

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 Elphinstone 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 ↗

Listed buildings

Historic England’s list has no entry that names Elphinstone Avenue or stands beside its line. Every listed building in Hastings

Tree preservation orders near Elphinstone Avenue

Orders with a protected tree, group or woodland within about 40 m of the street’s line, from the council’s map data.

Flood zones, the coast and protected nature

Flood zones

Part of Elphinstone Avenue is in Flood Zone 2 (rivers). That is the Environment Agency’s flood map for planning, which shows land that could flood from rivers or the sea, ignoring the benefits of any existing flood defences.

Locations in flood zone 2 have a medium probability of flooding.

This means, in any year, land has:

  • between a 1% and 0.1% (between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000) chance of flooding from rivers
  • between a 0.5% and 0.1% (between 1 in 200 and 1 in 1,000) chance of flooding from the sea.

Flood zone 2 developments need a flood risk assessment as part of their planning application.

A street’s line is not an address. For a particular address, use the Environment Agency’s Check your long term flood risk ↗; for a planning site, its Flood map for planning ↗. Flood warnings in force now are on Live now.

Protected nature

No Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Area of Conservation, Local Nature Reserve, ancient woodland or country park is within about 100 m of Elphinstone Avenue’s line, and it is outside the High Weald National Landscape. Protected nature in Hastings

Who looks after this street

Adopted highway: yes. Elphinstone Avenue is on East Sussex County Council’s map of adopted roads, so the county looks after it: report a problem to East Sussex Highways.

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 Elphinstone Avenue 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.
