Teville Gate takes its name from the former tollgate that stood on the site for the Worthing to West Grinstead turnpike, close to the Teville Stream which flows through the area.

Proposed developments

1998 Farrho proposal

A scheme from 1998 proposed a new cinema built in place of the multi-storey car park. [1]

2006-10 Hanson proposal

A £150 million development was put forward by Hanson which would have included more than 200 flats in twin towers, conference centre, hotel, multiplex cinema and supermarket received planning permission in 2010. The lending bank prevented the owner from signing the section 106 agreement and the approval fell and the bank then foreclosed. [2]

2015-20 proposals from Mosaic and Hanson

Teville Gate House

In 2015 ownership of the site was divided between Mosaic (formerly Mosaique), which took control of the majority of the site, with Hanson retaining the former Teville Gate House. With planning approval granted in June 2019, [3] by July 2019 Hanson had begun work on constructing a £29 million build cost [4] five-storey 8,550 m2 (92,000 sq ft) office block for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). HMRC moved in to the building in mid May 2021, one of five specialist sites across the UK. [5] The building will replace its existing site at Durrington on Sea , [6] 2 miles (3.2 km) to the west and will house around 900 full-time equivalent employees, including IT and digital services, human resources and finance roles. [5]

Station Square

In 2018 AROS Architects designed new proposals for the site, named Station Square, [7] which went out to consultation. In February 2019 Mosaic submitted a £93 million proposal [8] to include 378 homes, a supermarket, an 83-bed hotel, gym and space for some retail and restaurants. [9] The application includes three buildings, including one main tower, rising to a maximum of 22 storeys. LCE Architects modified part of the 2018 designs from AROS to include changing block A at the corner of Teville Road and Broadwater Road to reflect the local influence of Art Deco within Worthing. A decision was expected to be given on the planning application for the rest of the site owned by Mosaic on 4 March 2020. [10] If built, Block C would be the tallest building in Worthing at 66 metres (217 ft) tall (22 storeys), [11] taller than Bayside which stands at 52 metres (172 ft) tall (15 storeys).

Worthing, a seaside town with borough status in the United Kingdom, is connected to the rest of the country by a network of major roads, a mainline railway, frequent bus and coach services and a nearby airport.
