Since December 2025: 3 planning applications and 4 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 West Hill Road, 5 in all (4 granted, 0 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.

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 street index lists these properties on West Hill Road under Article 4 directions, which take away some building work that wouldn’t otherwise need planning permission:

The council’s Article 4 directions for cliff stability (confirmed 1 July 2025) take away some householder permitted development rights near here: the council’s page says the two areas are in West Hill Road and the surrounding area. The addresses they cover are listed only in the directions themselves. Cliff Stability Area 1: the direction (PDF) ↗, its map (PDF) ↗; Cliff Stability Area 2: the direction (PDF) ↗, its map (PDF) ↗.

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 (4)

From Historic England’s list: 2 whose list entry names West Hill Road and 2 whose map point is beside its line. The list entry says what is protected, which can include attached walls and railings.
