New jobs and 10,000 new homes planned for Shoreham Harbour

The area would also get upgrades to public transport and measures to improve long-term flood protection for the wider area in a massive regeneration scheme.

The harbour is being given Growth Point status by the government to recognise the contribution the harbour can potentially make to the area's economic development prospects, while focusing on regeneration measures that will benefit existing communities and reverse deprivation.

The scheme will also enable a range of new community infrastructure such as schools and doctors' surgeries to be provided, along with public open space and improved beach access.
