These records were deposited by the Planning Department in February 1981 and derive from its predecessors the pre-1934 Rural District Councils of Battle, Hastings, Rye and Ticehurst, and the post-1934 Rural District Council of Battle and the Borough Councils of Bexhill and Rye.

Under the East Sussex Review Order 1934 the former Battle Rural District was enlarged to include the former Battle Urban District and the former Rural Districts of Hastings, Rye and Ticehurst (with the exception of Frant and Wadhurst).
