Can you please provide me with the details of all Scheduled Monument Consents obtained by HBC in the last 5 years from January 2018 to date for any works within this Scheduled Monument on the East Hill Hastings.

Response

The installation of notice boards at Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve was undertaken by Groundwork South.

A copy of the scheduled ancient monument consent for the works in 2023 granted to Groundwork South is attached. All applications for consent have been made by Groundwork South, not Hastings Borough Council.

Hastings Borough Council holds no copies of consents prior to 2023.
