Sea Space submits planning application for next Priory Quarter development
Sea Space, the East Sussex economic development company, has submitted a planning application for the creation of the next phase of Hastings’ Priory Quarter business district.
The proposed scheme would replace Queensbury House at the top of Havelock Road, plus some adjoining buildings, with a distinctive, contemporary landmark development facing the rail station. It would provide 6,000m2 net (64,500 sq ft) of office space and a café/restaurant on the ground floor. It is designed to build on the positive change under way in Priory Quarter and bring further jobs to Hastings.
The development would be built in two stages with the first part facing onto Havelock Road. Architects Proctor and Matthews have prepared the designs. A document from the architects giving more details about the scheme is available by email from Sea Space.
These latest proposals follow the creation by Sea Space and its partners of: the Lacuna Place offices, now 65% occupied; One Priory Square, purchased by Saga to accommodate up to 800 staff; Priory Square; and a second building—to be completed later this year—for The University of Brighton’s Hastings campus.
Sea Space is inviting pre-let enquiries from companies interested in the proposed development.
Sea Space would also be happy to hear any comments or questions about the scheme. People should get in touch with Paul Adams on pauladams@sea-space.co.uk or 01424 723 123.
In addition, there is an opportunity to find out more about the proposed scheme and to lodge comments with Hastings Borough Council by visiting www.hastings.gov.uk/planning or calling 01424 781066 for more information.
