What’s it all about?

The Shoreham Cement Works has been an eyesore for decades, and most people think that something should be done to improve it. The dilemma is: what?

Right now, there is a unique opportunity for the local communities, the stakeholders, and anyone else who cares about what happens in the Shoreham Chalk Pit, to make their voice heard.

The South Down Project is a group of locals who think this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to bring a world class development to our area.

 

If you think that what happens in this particularly beautiful part of the South Downs is best decided by you, then this could be your chance to have a say.

If delivered successfully, the scheme could:

  • Bring in £1.3billion of inward investment to the area
  • Provide up to 2,200 new homes
  • Create over 1,500 construction jobs and an additional 4,400 employment opportunities for local people

Special Acknowledgement

The idea that grew to become The South Down Project was the brainchild of Shoreham resident, Mr Christopher Harris. Chris is a retired architect, who during his long career, had worked amongst others with Sir Hugh Casson and Sir Denys Lasdun on some of London's most famous landmark buildings.

It is his spirit, enthusiasm and inspiration that have continuously fuelled the innovation that underpins the Project, and the South Down Project team and its supporters gratefully acknowledge his experience and constant determination.

Thanks Chris, we owe it all to you.
