Middle Road at a glance
The street beside its ward and the town. Each figure is from the section further down that says where it comes from.
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.
Planning on this street
Every planning application and decision we hold for Middle Road, 1 in all (0 granted and 1 refused), newest first. Our record starts on 21 April 2026, from the council’s weekly lists; earlier applications here are on the council’s own planning search. An application made before then appears only if it was decided since, and then without its earlier dates.

Conservation, listed buildings and protected trees
None of the town’s 18 conservation areas reaches Middle Road 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 ↗
The council’s map data has no tree preservation order within about 40 m of Middle 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 ↗
None of Middle 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.”
No Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Area of Conservation, Local Nature Reserve, ancient woodland or country park is within about 100 m of Middle Road’s line, and it is outside the High Weald National Landscape. Protected nature in Hastings

The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at Ore Church, about 470 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).
