Adur Homes, the council’s social housing arm, owns and manages more than 2,500 properties. An area in need of investment is the Southwick Estate between the railway station and Shoreham Port, consisting of 248 homes across 15 blocks, 13 of which are owned by Adur Homes and two are commercial properties owned by others. These are split into 70 per cent tenants and 30 per cent leaseholders. Improvements were due to take place on the estate last year but were halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This has provided the opportunity for Adur Homes to review the entire estate and look at a range of future options.
A FORMER police station is to be transformed as part of a £1 million regeneration project. The building in North Road in Lancing has been purchased by Adur District Council for £850,000 after its acquisition was agreed last month. The council has committed a further £200,000 to bring forward viable proposals for the site.
The council said they have several possible options for the site It said options for the site could include retail, residential, medical or a community hub. The project is part of a wider of regeneration of Lancing Village. Councillor Carson Albury, Adur’s Executive Member for Customer Services, approved the purchase of the site.
