Tree preservation orders

The council’s map data has no tree preservation order within about 40 m of King's Road’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 ↗

Flood zones, the coast and protected nature

Flood zones

None of King's Road’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.”

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 King's Road’s line, and it is outside the High Weald National Landscape. Protected nature in Hastings

The record holds one postcode for this street: no premises there could get gigabit-capable broadband, and not every premises could get superfast broadband (30 Mbit/s or more).

Gigabit-capable means full fibre or cable; Ofcom reports full fibre only for whole council areas.
