A derelict site in the centre of Worthing, West Sussex, is set to be brought back to life.
A joint venture between Worthing Borough Council and Roffey Homes has got the go-ahead to build 216 new homes on the land.
Union Place was once home to the town’s police station but has lain derelict for years.
The scheme will deliver a range of one-, two- and three-bedroom flats across four buildings.
Roffey Homes managing director Ben Cheal said: “This will be one of the largest and most sustainable residential schemes Worthing has ever seen and will revitalise an area of the town. It has the potential to re-establish Union Place as an important part of the high street.”
The new development will also include three secluded landscaped gardens for residents, 7,000 sq ft of commercial space, six ‘work/live’ apartments, and access to a new 236-space car park and cycle parking.
Preparations will begin on site in summer this year, working with local contractor Westbrooke Developments.
Construction is anticipated to begin in December, with the first completions scheduled for 2027.
