Worked out from 107 applications we have read from Hastings Borough Council's own public planning register, with decisions between 22 October 2026 and 5 November 2026. Last read 6 November 2026. A rate needs at least 10 decided applications.

These are the applications we have read, not the council's full archive. The council's own record is the official source — its planning register.
