Community Benefits
Along with the creation of a vibrant new town centre for Hailsham, each of the three masterplan options will deliver a considerable number of benefits for local people, Hailsham and the district more widely:
- Creation of new local jobs and apprenticeships, both during construction and once the scheme is completed
- Significant input into the local economy through an improved retail and commercial offering in Hailsham
- New homes for local people including a portion of affordable homes
- New flexible community space for local groups
- An increase in sustainability across the town through technology advancements, modes of transport and heating and energy strategies
- New public spaces
- Reducing carbon emissions on site and delivering a project that goes toward achieving the targets set out in Wealden District Council’s Climate Change Action Plan
