Flood zones, the coast and protected nature
Flood zones
None of Magdalen 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.”
The coast
The Environment Agency’s erosion map covers this frontage: one stretch of policy unit 4C24 Hastings (inc. the Harbour) ↗ in the Shoreline Management Plan, whose policy is Hold the line (Maintain/replace) in all three periods, 2005 to 2105: “Where protection is currently provided by coastal defence structures or managed beaches, and the intention is to retain a defence along approximately the current alignment. This will involve replacing defences when needed. Defence type, method and standard of protection may be modified over time.”
- With Shoreline Management Plans delivered: 0 m by 2055, 0 m by 2105.
- No Future Intervention: 62 m by 2055, 110 m by 2105.
Part of Magdalen Road’s line is inside the map’s No Future Intervention zone to 2105, and none of it inside the zone to 2105 with the plan delivered.
The data and associated information are intended for guidance only - it cannot provide details for individual properties.
The data shows areas of land likely to be at erosion risk but does not show the precise future position of the shoreline.
Erosion may happen faster or slower than what we show, and risk may change over time.

Questions from Members of the Public under Rule 11
Has there been a costs benefits analysis, and an environmental impact report completed in relation to HBC plans to build on The Holy Child Convent land, in consideration that the adjacent properties in Magdalen Road are designated a high flood risk area from surface water runoff. Should the works be approved will the Council provide details, prior to the building works, that the funding for the restoration of the Grade ll buildings is in place as these important details tend to be overlooked.
