Since November 2025: 1 planning application and 1 planning decision. 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.

Questions from Members of the Public under Rule 11

A question from the public at Full Council

Site reference: HS18 – Tilekiln Farm, Fairlight Avenue/Tilekiln Lane Given that the Council previously assessed Tilekiln Farm as not meeting its SHLAA criteria in 2010 and as not currently developable in 2014, and has itself described Fairlight Road as “hazardous and narrow”, what new evidence now demonstrates that HS18 is suitable for housing, despite the longstanding highway, traffic, flooding, drainage, landscape and residential amenity constraints identified by the Council?
