North Bexhill Development Given Greenlight

The South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) have confirmed funding for the Bexhill Enterprise Park North industrial scheme, following given planning consent.

Seachange Sussex will be undertaking initial enable works including the development of an access road and utilities for the site, before developer Westcott Leach begins developing 84,000 sq ft of light industrial floorspace on the site.

John Shaw, Chief Executive of Sea Change Sussex, comments:

“Confirmation of funding for the Bexhill industrial scheme’s enabling works is another vital milestone, following the Planning Inspector’s decision that the scheme should go ahead.

“We’re grateful for the support for the project expressed in the SELEP meeting by both SELEP and Councillor Glazier. And we’re working as quickly as possible with the County Council team to conclude the grant agreement so we can get started.”

The site will be able to support the creation of over 500 different jobs in the local economy, with support funding from the Local Growth Fund (LGF).
