Requested Thu 11 December 2025
Responded Fri 19 December 2025

Regarding Carlisle Parade Underground Car Park (Ref: HS/LB/17/00721).

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding the structural maintenance history of the Carlisle Parade Underground Car Park.

It is a matter of public record that Hastings Borough Council applied for Listed Building Consent in 2017 (Ref: HS/LB/17/00721) for concrete repairs and redecoration of this structure.

Please provide the following:

Structural Surveys (2017): Any structural survey reports, concrete core sampling results, or engineer reports produced between 2016 and 2018 in relation to the renovation of the Carlisle Parade Underground Car Park ceiling/roof slab.

Structural Depth Data: Any records held by the Council detailing the depth and thickness of the reinforced concrete roof slab of the car park that sits beneath the A259 carriageway.

This information is required to establish the extent of prior knowledge regarding the ground conditions in this area.

The decorating of the Carlisle Parade Underground Car Park was completed in 2019. However, this was only decorating and painting.

The roof structure of the car park is the A259 carriageway and is the responsibility of East Sussex County Council Highways Team to maintain, This includes the pillars in the car parks. Please visit their website for further information:
