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 Lovat Mead 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 Lovat Mead or stands beside its line. Every listed building in Hastings

Tree preservation orders

The council’s map data has no tree preservation order within about 40 m of Lovat Mead’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

Part of Lovat Mead 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.

The Environment Agency’s words, from Flood zones and what they mean ↗.

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 Lovat Mead’s line, and it is outside the High Weald National Landscape. Protected nature in Hastings

Who looks after this street

Partly adopted. East Sussex County Council’s map shows part of Lovat Mead as adopted and part not. The county looks after the adopted part (report a problem to East Sussex Highways); the rest may be a private road or a private street. The county’s map shows which part is which.

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

The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at 139 Bexhill Road, about 260 m from the middle of this street: an annual mean of 16.6 µg/m³ in 2025.

Every year the report gives: 2021: 18.8, 2022: 18.5, 2023: 15.1, 2024: 17.3, 2025: 16.6 (µg/m³).
