Asset of community value

From the borough council's register. What listing means, and every entry.

• Speckled Wood - 2014 nomination

  Not listed

  The council's reasons

  • 1: Insufficient detailed evidence was submitted to justify the inclusion of the area of land
  • 2: Operational business premises were included which are not considered to be assets of community value
  • 3: Residential properties and gardens of residential properties have been included which are not considered to be assets of community value
  • 4: Some of the land nominated is enclosed by fencing and is not considered to have been used by the local community in recent years
  • 5: There are areas of the land which do not appear to have been used by the local community and remain overgrown
  • 6: Due to the nominated land not being considered to be an existing asset of community value it is therefore not considered realistic for it to continue to be used for the social wellbeing or social interest of the local community
• "Speckled Wood" - Land off Graystone Lane

  Not listed

  The council's reasons

  • 1. Insufficient detailed evidence was submitted to justify the inclusion of the area of land;
  • 2. Activities taking place within the land are ancillary to the main use of the land;
  • 3. Due to the nominated land not being considered to be an existing asset of community value it is therefore not considered realistic for it to continue to be used for the social wellbeing or social interest of the local community.

Who looks after this street

Not adopted. East Sussex County Council’s map names Graystone Lane but shows none of it as adopted, so the county doesn’t maintain it. It may be a private road or a private street (an unadopted highway): “Private streets are also known as unadopted public highways and are different to private roads. Private streets are also maintained by the owners rather than the County Council but are open to the public.” (the council’s page)

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

From East Sussex County Council’s map of adopted roads, read 12 October 2026. © East Sussex County Council 2026. Only the street’s name and whether it is adopted are used: the county’s map is the record, and its Highway Land Information Team confirms a road’s status. Who looks after what

Homes sold on this street

HM Land Registry records no standard sales of homes on Graystone Lane since 2017, and 1 between 1995 and 2016.

Every sale, with the address, is in the Land Registry's own search: Graystone Lane. House prices in Hastings, by year, kind of home and ward.

Contains HM Land Registry data © Crown copyright and database right 2026. This data is licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Standard sales only: the Land Registry's category A, "single residential property sold for value". Repossessions, buy-to-let purchases with a mortgage and sales to companies (its category B) aren't included. A sale reaches the register weeks or months after it completes, so the last few months to August 2026 are incomplete.

Air quality nearby

The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at Ore Church, about 50 m from the middle of this street: an annual mean of 18.3 µg/m³ in 2025.

Every year the report gives: 2021: 20.7, 2022: 20.0, 2023: 17.7, 2024: 17.7, 2025: 18.3 (µg/m³).
