PRINCIPAL OPPORTUNITIES Chapter 2. Evidence and Analysis

Shoreham Cement Works has the opportunity to reuse existing buildings and working yards for the purposes of repairing context character (quarry and industries) as well as reducing carbon emissions from demolition and new construction. There are structural and architectural challenges to the reuse of buildings, but these are not unresolvable and are consistent with the ethics of this design.

Any new development could also connect to existing non-motorised infrastructure, improve it, and for the site to become a hub in the landscape for the public to enjoy. Commuting by bus and cycle to Shoreham-by-Sea Railway Station takes up to 20 and 15 minutes respectively. There is space for production of renewable energy, sustainable management of water and rich and varied habitats and species.
