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 Monks Way 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 Monks Way 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 Monks Way’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 Monks Way is in Flood Zone 3 (rivers). Part of it 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 3 have a high probability of flooding.

This means, in any year, land has:

  • a 1% (1 in 100) or more chance of flooding from rivers
  • a 0.5% (1 in 200) or more chance of flooding from the sea.

Flood zone 3 developments need a flood risk assessment as part of their planning application.

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 coast

The Environment Agency’s erosion map covers this frontage: one stretch of policy unit 4C25 Bulverhythe and Glyne Gap ↗ 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: 40 m by 2055, 126 m by 2105.

Part of Monks Way’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 figures are the width of the map’s erosion zone, inland from today’s shoreline, on the Higher Central allowance. In the Agency’s words: “Two periods: Medium Term (up to 2055) and Long Term (up to 2105).” “Two management scenarios: With Shoreline Management Plans delivered and No Future Intervention.” “Three climate scenarios: Present Day climate (2020), Higher Central allowance and Upper End allowance. The two allowances use sea level rise data from UKCP18 RCP8.5 70th and 95th percentiles respectively.” “All distances are cumulative over time and given in metres.”

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.

Who looks after this street

Not on the county’s list of adopted roads. Monks Way isn’t named on East Sussex County Council’s map of adopted roads. It may be private or unadopted, it may be named differently there, or it may be a footpath, steps or a twitten rather than a road.

The county’s Highway Land Information Team answers questions about road adoption (highwaysearches@eastsussex.gov.uk, 01273 482 316). For a footpath or steps, the county’s rights of way map and Rights of Way Team (rightsofway@eastsussex.gov.uk).

Air quality nearby

The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at The Boat, Bexhill Road, about 160 m from the middle of this street: an annual mean of 21.1 µg/m³ in 2025.

Every year the report gives: 2021: 19.4, 2022: 18.8, 2023: 20.7, 2024: 21.1, 2025: 21.1 (µg/m³).

Each figure is for the kerbside spot where the tube or monitor sits, not for the whole street. The report compares each site “with the air quality objective of 40µg/m3”, an annual mean. From the borough council's 2026 Air Quality Annual Status Report (May 2026, read 12 October 2026). Every site
