Plans for more than 200 Worthing flats approved
The development is expected to be completed by summer 2025
Plans for more than 200 flats in Worthing have been approved, as the council tries to put a dent in the town's housing shortage.
The plans include the creation of ten studio apartments, 50 one-bed flats, 141 two-bed flats and eight three-bed flats, a short distance from the town centre and seafront.
Cllr Kevin Jenkins, Leader of Worthing Borough Council, said: “Worthing is very much a town on the up and yet another example of significant investment in our local economy.
“We know there is a shortage of housing locally. But we are also keen to make sure that development is done sensitively to residents and our wider environment.
“That’s why we have worked incredibly closely with the developer and residents to ensure the site is sustainable and hugely eco-friendly, while also being in keeping with the existing architecture.”
The development, which will feature 44 electric vehicle charging points out of 110 parking spaces, is expected to be completed by summer 2025.
