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.
Conservation, listed buildings and protected trees
None of the town’s 18 conservation areas reaches Woodcombe as mapped.
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 ↗

None of Woodcombe’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.”

Ancient woodland: Woodcombe’s line passes within about 100 m of 1 parcel on Natural England’s inventory (St Helen's Wood).
Natural England’s designations within about 100 m of the street’s mapped line. Each official page says what is protected there. Protected nature in Hastings
Problems reported, roadworks, how long reports take to close, and who looks after the road.
Who looks after this street
Not adopted. East Sussex County Council’s map names Woodcombe but shows none of it as adopted, so the county doesn’t maintain it. It may be a private road or a private street (an unadopted highway): “Private streets are also known as unadopted public highways and are different to private roads. Private streets are also maintained by the owners rather than the County Council but are open to the public.” (the council’s page)
