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

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 ↗

Tree preservation orders

The council’s map data has no tree preservation order within about 40 m of St. Margaret's 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 ↗

Flood zones, the coast and protected nature

Flood zones

None of St. Margaret's 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.”

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.

The coast

The Environment Agency’s erosion map covers this frontage: 3 stretches 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: 14 to 62 m by 2055, 29 to 110 m by 2105.

Part of St. Margaret's 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 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.

Crime and policing in Castle ward

St. Margaret's Road's middle is in Castle ward. These are the ward's figures, not this street's: we don't publish crime street by street.

In August 2026, the police recorded 301 crimes and 114 incidents of anti-social behaviour in Castle ward. In the 12 months to August 2026: 2,459 crimes and 689 incidents of anti-social behaviour. The ward's figures by category.

Its police team is Castle (Hastings). The team's next meeting listed on data.police.uk: Community Meeting - Castle Ward, Saturday 14 November 2026, 10am, Hastings Police Pod, Wellington Place, Hastings.

The team's priorities, as the police word them: Shoplifting; Anti-social behaviour; Street Community / Drinking in public.

The team's contact details on data.police.uk: email hastings@sussex.pnn.police.uk. Sussex Police's telephone number on data.police.uk is 101, the police's number for anything that isn't an emergency; Sussex Police's website. In an emergency, call 999.

Air quality nearby

The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at Carlise Parade, about 460 m from the middle of this street: an annual mean of 16.5 µg/m³ in 2025.

Every year the report gives: 2021: 19.3, 2022: 19.1, 2023: 16.9, 2024: 16.0, 2025: 16.5 (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
