New Monks Farm Development

New Monks Farm Development Ltd (a subsidiary of Brighton & Hove Albion), is excited to share its plans for its new development In Lancing at a public exhibition to be held at the Shoreham Centre, 2 Pond Road, Shoreham BN43 5WU on:

• Friday 27th January 2017 from 2pm to 8pm

• Saturday 28th January 2017 from 10am to 2pm

In addition the plans will also be on display in Lancing on:

• Wednesday 1^st February 2017 from 4pm to 8pm at Lancing Parish Hall, 96 South St, Lancing BN15 8AJ.

The development is part of the Albion’s £150 million regeneration plans for New Monks Farm in Lancing - which includes new homes, a school and country park for residents. The proposed development also includes plans for a 35,000 m2 IKEA store which will create 430 jobs with the entire development estimated to generate a total of 875 new jobs for the Adur area.

Martin Perry Director of New Monks Farm Development said: “This is part of a wider major regeneration scheme in Lancing that is in line with the emerging Adur Local Plan. In addition to the significant employment generated through this development by IKEA, 600 homes for local families will be created, supported by a new primary school, a country park and replacing the Sussex Pad traffic lights with a major new roundabout on the A27 will improve the situation for commuters and open up new job opportunities on Shoreham Airport.”

Tim Farlam, Real Estate Manager for IKEA UK and Ireland said: “At IKEA our vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people. We want to make IKEA accessible and are very excited to be opening a number of new stores around the UK. This site presents a great opportunity, given its scale, accessibility and location. A new store at Lancing will provide people from the Greater Brighton area with relevant home furnishing solutions and will create local jobs."

Neil Parkin, Leader of Adur District Council said: ““I am pleased to see the strong investment interest that is being shown in Lancing and in the whole Adur District.  We are clear that we want to attract world class developments which create homes and jobs for local people.  I am looking forward to working with Brighton and Hove Albion, and now with IKEA, to achieve our ambitions for one of the most high profile strategic sites identified in our Local Plan.

“The proposal from New Monks Farm Development Ltd and IKEA must fully address concerns the local community has around flooding and sustainable development at this key site through a clear and convincing business case.  Once completed, our District will benefit from an annual £11.5m economic injection, and which will allow us to continue delivering high quality services and helping people to do great things in Adur.”
