for example Neighbourhood Forum/Body capable of being a Neighbourhood Forum

 

If not, an application will need to be made, for more information please visit our website links at the top of this form

 
 
 
 
 
 

Note 1: The proposed neighbourhood area cannot overlap with an already designated neighbourhood area.

 
 
 

Extent of the Area

Note 2: You must supply a map to accompany your application. The map must clearly identify the area to be covered by the proposed neighbourhood area and be such that the land concerned can be identified on the Ordnance Survey map. It should be of an appropriate standard scale so that boundaries can be clearly seen (e.g. 1:2500 or 1:1250). Where possible the boundary of the area should follow physical features and should not cut through properties. Please ensure that the boundary line is clearly edged in red and is not of a thickness that obscures any other detail or makes the extent any way ambiguous.


The most commonly acceptable base plan is Ordnance Survey mapping. Please visit www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/plan to find your nearest Ordnance Survey partner selling large scale maps for this purpose. Hastings Borough Council are unable to provide a map for you at this stage in the process due to our mapping licence.
