Since December 2025: 2 planning applications and 2 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.

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 Vale Road, 2 in all (1 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 Vale Road as mapped.

Flood zones, the coast and protected nature

Flood zones

Part of Vale Road 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.

Crime and policing in Silverhill ward

Vale Road's middle is in Silverhill 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 32 crimes and 7 incidents of anti-social behaviour in Silverhill ward. In the 12 months to August 2026: 430 crimes and 74 incidents of anti-social behaviour. The ward's figures by category.

Air quality nearby

The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at St Lukes, Alma Terrace, about 230 m from the middle of this street: an annual mean of 14.1 µg/m³ in 2025.
