Coast to Capital as a Local Enterprise Partnership is committed to the creation of 100,000 new jobs by 2025.

Key to this job creation is future development of existing brown field sites throughout our region, that not only provide new employment space, but also affordable new homes to retain and attract employers to the region.

It is vital that for our region to continue with its economic growth, new developments are supported. The vision created by the South Down Project team is one I support and my team Coast to Capital look forward to further involvement as the project develops.

I personally have had concerns over this potentially exciting site since I joined West Sussex County Council as lead on the economy in 2005. There are complex issues to surmount – but nothing is impossible.
