Our proposals
Watkin Jones gained planning consent for Phase 1 of the Hove Gardens regeneration (1-3 Ellen Street) in October 2020. We are delighted to be able to bring forward plans for Phase 2 on the adjacent car park on Fonthill Road to provide additional build to rent homes and commercial space.
