Plan for new shop and two flats in town centre revealed
Two flats and a new store are being planned for the heart of Worthing.
Posters have gone up outside 8-9 South Street, in Worthing town centre, sharing a vision for what was previously CREW, the Climate Resilience Centre Worthing, next door to Caffe Nero.
A QR code on the posters takes you to a website the says the developers of the space want to ‘undertake a sensitive redevelopment of the building, creating two new apartments above an updated and flexible commercial unit’.
Before it was CREW, the space was a William Hill betting shop, prior to that a Pizza Hut restaurant, and before that it was Crouch the Jewellers.
The website adds: “Our approach is grounded in care and practicality. The goal is to deliver a building that feels familiar from the outside while offering a significantly improved experience inside for both residents and a future commercial tenant.
“The project focuses on:
“Practical, durable build quality
“Modern living standards
“A flexible and well-serviced commercial unit
“Long-term sustainability and low running costs
“A respectful continuation of the site’s role in the town centre.
“It is an evolution, not a reinvention.”
