Since December 2025: 2 planning applications and 6 planning decisions. 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.

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 Robertson Street, 7 in all (5 granted, 1 refused and 1 not yet decided), 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.

Flood zones, the coast and protected nature

Flood zones

Part of Robertson Street is in Flood Zone 3 (the sea). 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.

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

Can you confirm that the original bracket and lamp heads, commissioned to replicate the Victorian originals, are being restored and replaced and that they are not being replaced with substandard modern alternatives in a similar way those on Robertson Street have been? Similarly, can we also get reassurance that the york stone paving on the High Street that has been 'temporariy' replaced a year ago with inappropriate concrete slabs are also going to be reinstated, and when this will happen?
