Coastal West Sussex offers some of the most attractive landscapes and townscapes in Britain - and we're determined to keep it that way, through sympathetic urban design and far-sighted planning policies. Landmark developments and design-based businesses in the area include:

  • Ropetackle in Shoreham-by-Sea, created by Berkeley Homes with SEEDA (South East England Development Agency). This mixed-use development incorporates quality housing, the Adur Enterprise Gateway and an Arts Centre, and has achieved the EcoHomes "Excellence" rating.
  • Rolls-Royce Motorcars Ltd's facility at Goodwood with its green roof demonstrates low impact development at its very best.
  • The B&W Group and Ricardo Vehicle Engineering - pioneering, state-of-the-art technological companies, developing innovative and globally acclaimed products.
  • A remarkable Thomas Heatherwick designed cafe at East Beach Littlehampton, backed by a local entrepreneur and constructed by local firm Littlehampton Welding Ltd.
  • Littlehampton East Bank, transforming the links between the town centre and the river, seeding future investment. This superb development was the Winner of Best Practice in Regeneration Award, BURA 2004.
  • Town centre developments at Bognor Regis, Worthing and Shoreham-by-Sea offer opportunities to continue to lead the way in design excellence.
