Old Town and St Leonards
The Old Town and much of St Leonards are conservation areas with many listed buildings. Original doors of listed homes need consent; a modern rear door is usually more practical.
Steep streets
Many homes are built into steep hillsides, with back doors opening onto steps or terraced gardens. For a dog flap, we'll consider the drop outside the door.

Questions from homeowners in Hastings
My back door opens onto steps. Is a dog flap possible?
Usually, yes. We set the flap height with the outside step in mind.
I rent. Can I have a cat flap?
Only with your landlord's written permission. A flap in a replaceable door panel is often the easiest to agree.
Who handles planning?
