On iPhone or iPad, alerts need the site on your home screen: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, open Open Hastings from there, and the alert button appears 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.
