John Desmond, Managing Director of Hanson Capital Management said: “This is great news for Worthing’s future prosperity.
“We have had very strong support from residents who want to get the project moving so that the long-term Teville Gate eyesore can be finally cleared away and a new start made on this key town centre site”
He added: “The supermarket and cinema are already under offer and discussions are progressing with occupiers for the Hotel and Conference and Exhibition Centre.
“Discussions are also taking place with national and regional restaurant groups”
