The vision for the regeneration of Hailsham Town Centre is to create a welcoming, inclusive and impressive design that draws on the history of the town and enhances its surroundings, whilst creating:
New open public and green spaces
Exciting new exercise and leisure facilities
Access to new healthcare facilities
Improved civic and community spaces
New energy efficient homes
Improved connectivity and accessibility for all
Reinforced and enhanced green links with the surrounding countryside
To do this, seven key design principles were created to guide the masterplan for Hailsham Town Centre.
These guiding principles have been developed using the responses received in the 2019 consultation as well as further reviews of existing evidence and a design and heritage review of the town centre. These documents are available to view in our supporting documents.
