Economic Blueprint

Background

In 2006, Momentum, Eastbourne’s regeneration partnership commissioned Rubicon Regeneration to prepare an Economic Blueprint for the Eastbourne Hailsham sub region.

This was in association with:

• East Sussex Economic Partnership

• Eastbourne Strategic Partnership, and

• Tourism South East

The objective was to set out a vision and economic strategy for the area including recommendations as to how it can make a significant contribution to the sustainable economic growth of East Sussex, the coastal strip and the broader region.

The Triangle is recognised as a key strategic location along the Sussex coast, which offers considerable potential for additional economic and sustainable development.

A public presentation of the findings of this work and the proposed economic development for this key region of East Sussex was held in July 2007.

Current

The Action Plan is a working document which was adopted by the Council and Wealden District Council.

Both Council's and East Sussex County Council have commissioned a consultant to review the viability of the land in the area for employment and housing.
