Lewes District Council’s planning committee has approved a proposal for the regeneration of Newhaven Marina including 400 riverside homes, a 50-bedroom apartment hotel with a gym, along with a range of restaurants and cafés. The existing 300-berth marina will be fully reconfigured, with significantly improved facilities for berth holders and marina users. This phase will complete the transformation of Newhaven’s western waterfront.
On behalf of Newhaven Marina Holding Company Ltd. Marina Projects have been instructed to secure necessary marina licenses for the following scope of works:
- Dredging
- Pontoon and pile removal
- Installation of new pontoons
- Installation of new piles
- New full tidal access configuration
Additionally, Marina Projects responsibilities include obtaining a Harbour Works Consent through Newhaven Port and Properties, Securing a Marine License through The Marine Management Organisation and assistance with the Planning Application to secure Planning Consent for the Marina through Lewes District Council.
after many years of works to secure the consents for a landside Masterplan for the redevelopment of Newhaven Marina, we were delighted to be appointed by Newhaven Marina Holding Company Ltd to deal with the licenses and consents required to deliver the waterside elements of the scheme. Through our experience and expertise in handling such marine licenses, we were able to undertake the works and secure all of the necessary consents in order that Phase 1 of the scheme could commence in October 2024. With Phase one now complete, we look ahead to the second and third phases during 2025 and 2026, that will see the remainder of the marina completely removed, dredging undertaken and a new Walcon walkashore pontoon system installed. These works will provide customers of Newhaven Marina with a modern full tidal access facility with direct access to the South Coast cruising grounds as well as cross channel connections.
