Projects - Priory Quarter
 "Click to enlarge (opens in a new window)")
Sea Space is working on the long-term transformation of Priory Quarter - the section of Hastings town centre bounded by Cornwallis Terrace to the north, Cambridge Gardens to the west, Middle Street to the east and Robertson Street to the south. The area includes the University Centre Hastings and the Creative Media Centre as well as Lacuna Place.
Reasons For Development
We are working to turn the area into a bustling business and leisure district, creating jobs and making it a far better place to spend time - by day and by night.
Timings
- Approval was given to an outline planning application for these ideas in March 2007
- The developments will take place in phases over the coming years depending on funding and private sector investment
- Lacuna Place is the first part of the development due for completion by summer 2008
Further Information
Proposal ideas include new high quality offices, improved access to the rail station, a multi-screen cinema, a 'land bridge' from the station down Priory Street to Cambridge Road, small public squares and additional premises for the University Centre Hastings.
These ideas were shaped by two rounds of consultation to hear the views and aspirations of Hastings' young people, councillors, council officers, community members, business people and interest groups.
