'Landmark Development' approved by Council Planning Committee
West Beach 'wow factor' part of Newhaven 'renaissance'
The far-reaching plans will turn the venue into a magnet for residents and visitors, with a new 378m2 restaurant, outdoor gym, children's play area and improved pedestrian links all in the pipeline.
Councillor Zoe Nicholson, Leader of Lewes District Council, said:
"This is a landmark development that will create an irresistible wow factor in Newhaven, attracting visitors from far and wide and providing a massive boost to the local economy.
"Alongside the transformation of Newhaven Square and development of a new health hub, the advanced work on the fish processing plant, our reinvention of The Marine Workshop and countless other cultural, sporting and social projects.
"We are seeing a burgeoning renaissance across Newhaven, and I couldn't be prouder that Lewes District Council is leading the way."
Following the demolition of existing structures, the development at West Beach will also see extensive landscaping, footpath upgrades that will provide a continuous footpath between the town centre and the waterfront, new toilets, including a Changing Places facility and further informal open space.
