A major mixed-use regeneration scheme in Brighton called Circus Street has received a 'resolution to grant planning' from Brighton and Hove Council.

The £100 million regeneration scheme by Development Securities will be delivered in joint venture with McLaren and will transform a derelict market in the centre of Brighton into a vibrant commercial, cultural and residential quarter. The development will include 142 new homes, 450 student beds, 38,000 sq ft of office space, a state-of-the-art dance studio and a new library and academic building for the University of Brighton.

Circus Street is a 'public private partnership' project between development partners Cathedral and McLaren alongside the freeholders of the land, Brighton and Hove Council and the University of Brighton.

Construction of the whole scheme is anticipated to commence in Q2 2015 with a targeted completion in Q3 2017.
