Marine Gate - Have Your Say

10-20 Marine Parade, Worthing, BN11 3DN

The ‘Marine Gate’ development, located on the eastern side of Marine Place, represents the final phase of the Debenhams redevelopment. Utilising the former goods-in and loading area previously used by Debenhams for their operations, the site is a highly sustainable town centre location. Development of the site for a similar three-storey building has been approved by Worthing Borough Council under planning reference AWDM/1884/22. Craig Developments have considered this previous approval and local residents and are bringing forward a scheme of 27 high quality one-bedroom apartments.

We would like to hear your views on our proposals, which will deliver a number of key benefits including:

• Regeneration and enhancement of Marine Place, sustainably removing the existing buildings/structures on site which have limited architectural merit
• Proposed design and architectural features which complement the historic Art Deco character of the Debenhams building and the South Street Conservation Area
• A reduction to the overall height of the building when compared to the previous approval on site, limiting impacts on neighbouring properties and the surrounding area
• A lower number of total occupants when compared to the previously approved scheme, reducing demand on local services and facilities
• 27 quality homes on a highly sustainable brownfield site, designed with energy efficiency at the forefront
• A car free development which reflects the town centre location. Proposals include a car-share scheme which will reduce traffic congestion and contribute to a more sustainable community
• Full-time building and site management by staff based within the Debenhams development
• An efficient programme of works and building methods to ensure that the development is delivered quickly, with minimal disruption to the surrounding area
• A holistic development, with works planned to commence in 2027 following the immediate completion of the Debenhams site project
