These luxurious homes, from award-winning, premier developer Roffey Homes, combine harmonious architecture, stylish interiors and majestic sea views, ensuring that Calista faithfully lives up to its name, which is inspired by the Greek Kallistō, meaning “most beautiful”. Recently recommended by an international travel inspiration website, as one of the top places in the world to watch a sunset, the town of Worthing is considered by many to be a hidden treasure. Offering a mixture of seaside tradition and heritage with sensitive regeneration and perpetual reinvention, the town has an enduring reputation as an exceptional place to live. A remarkable waterfront position Occupying a commanding position on the south-east corner of highly sought after Grand Avenue, Calista provides a striking new focal point to the West Worthing seafront, while skillfully complementing its surroundings. Employing a synthesis of contemporary and traditional design, these distinctive residences use a palette of materials influenced by pebbles from the adjacent beach, to ensure the overall effect agreeably blends with the shoreline environs.

  • Chair's Report to C20 Southern Region AGM – 28 March 2021
    Chair’s Report to C20 Southern Region AGM – 28 March 2021 Introduction At our AGM in February 2020 we were looking forward to another programme of outdoor meetings and events. Things changed so quickly from that date and everything very quickly moved online. I hope members have been able to join the many and varied Zoom events organised by C20 Head Office. More recently our Group has been working with the South West and West Groups to host a series of online events – our first on Seaside Architecture to be followed on 28th March (the day after our AGM) by a session on Ecclesiastical Building. We were pleased to have 65+ people attend the Seaside Architecture session. Future Programme We will be guided by C20 Head Office as to when we can resume outdoor events and the format these may need to take including numbers. These were the plans we had for 2020 and would seem to be a good basis to plan our next schedule subject to discussion with the original hosts: Hooke Park, near Beaminster and Briantspuddle (model village) with Mike Henderson (access to this event would be by car as no public transport serves these locations) Christchurch, Dorset Emsworth, West Sussex with Paul Underhill Woking, Surrey with Caroline Martin and Pauline Mousley Brighton with David Robson Potential Event on Hampshire Schools Others to consider: Shute House Garden, Shaftesbury, Wiltshire, 1969 – Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe A return to Poundbury – trip to be organised jointly with the South West Region Expanding the Committee The existing officers of the committee are proposing that we expand the committee to a total of six that means we have three vacancies to fill.

  • Underground Sussex Growing the Value of Tourism in West Sussex
    Underground Sussex Growing the value of tourism in West Sussex A report identifying options for delivering tourism growth through collaboration for the Coastal West Sussex Partnership Underground Sussex Growing the value of tourism in West Sussex 1 Executive Summary The areas covered by Coastal West Sussex (CWS) are tourism destinations with a positive future. They hold assets that tourists believe to be great and there is a rich variety of events, festivals, attractions and experiences that are highly valued by visitors from around the UK and overseas. However they could and should do better. Their rich natural and cultural assets and their proximity to London and the South East, mean there is potential for tourism to grow further, contributing more jobs and greater economic impact to the Coastal West Sussex area. Local partners should aim for tourism growth in the Coastal West Sussex area to exceed that expected in the UK over the next four years. This should be done by generating new demand and creating year- round visitor flows, reducing the seasonal imbalance that currently restricts growth in the local visitor economy. A summary vision for the partnership could be ‘Driving more staying visitors to explore Coastal West Sussex throughout the year’. This growth should be achieved through changes to the pattern of tourism that include: • Converting day to staying visitors; • Delivering higher yield business tourism; • Achieving a better seasonal balance of business; • Establishing events to plug seasonal gaps; • Focusing on higher socio-economic groups from source markets; and • Attracting more international visitors (day from London as well as staying).

  • Worthing Pier And
    drastic steps were taken to hinder any enemy attack by blowing a 120-foot hole in to the Pier's decking near the South Pavilion. A section of the pier was blown out by the military in 1940 to stop German ships unloading troops and supplies at the pier-head in the event of an invasion. Following the explosion large amounts of barbed wire were strung between the blocks and land mines were laid under parts of the shingle beach. 1940 – A section of the Pier was blown away by the military Pill boxes, anti-aircraft guns and searchlight batteries were also strategically positioned around the town, RAF wireless and Radar stations were built on the outskirts at Poling, Highdown and High Salvington and most of the South Downs, north of the town, were used as a training area for the British and Canadian armies. In 1942 when fears of an invasion had lessened the Pier became a recreation centre for troops complete with a canteen, library and billiard tables. Entertaining WWII Allied Troops Just after the war ended Worthing Pier had a lucky escape, when a large sea mine drifted between the girders. If the mine had touched the steel girders then it is very likely the Pier would have been destroyed. Following this luck escape the Borough Council put in a claim to the Government's War Damage Commission to repair the hole in the decking, and refurbish the Pier after years of military occupation and general neglect. The Pier reopened to the public in April 1949.

  • TARRING FLOOD ACTION GROUP Rain Garden Proposals
    Active Community Fund GRANT APPLICATION FORM Section D: Your funding application Community Group Tarring Flood Action Group SuDs retro solutions to surface water flooding Project Title recommendations from earlier Feasibility study. Description of issues, needs and/or initiatives Within the West Tarring Conservation Area (See attached supplementary paper -map Appendix 1) there are a number of areas that large amounts of water collects on a regular basis, and more importantly, there have been a number of occasions in the recent past (2000, 2012) when flash floods have badly affected the area, resulting in flooding of, and damage to, a number of residential and commercial properties. Tarring High Street, in the conservation area, has had several floods in recent years and old buildings at the south end of the street and at the north end of South Street / Priory Close have suffered in particular. Following discussions at a TFAG Multi-Agency Meeting, the general consensus is that the floods were caused by a number of contributing factors:- • Climate Change impacting on localised intensity of rainfall • An inability of the network of drains and gullies to cope with heavy downpour events • Blocked drains and gullies • An aging, predominantly combined, surface water and sewage system • Discharge of roof water directly on to pavements/roads • Bow-wave surges caused by uncontrolled through-traffic • The influence of the Teville Stream and its confluence with Broadwater Brook, although this factor is subject to debate. • The lack of empirical data on problem areas of pooling and flooding in the Worthing area. • The dominance of a hard landscape and the lack of any ‘natural’ means of absorbing excessive rainwater before it can develop into flooding.
