The Railway Club in Newhaven Proposals to create a community hub in Newhaven are set to go before Lewes planners next week. On Wednesday (December 16), Lewes District Council planners are expected to consider an application to create a community space on land between the Railway Club and the UTC building by installing up to 10 timber-clad shipping containers on site. According to the application, which from Lewes District Council itself, the shipping containers would be converted into buildings providing tourist information and refreshments. In a report to be considered by the committee, a council planning spokesman said: “This scheme will form part of the regeneration of Newhaven and was approved by the Newhaven Town Funds Board, which also enabled a £500k capital grant to be obtained to support the site’s development.
