New social housing is set to be built on disused land in Victoria Street, transforming two derelict sites.
The designs for the new homes have been inspired by the road’s beloved former Victoria Hotel pub.
Associated parking for residents will also be introduced.
The plans have been shaped following extensive public engagement and consultation, with key feedback highlighting support for refining proposals to fit the local historic setting, positive reactions to adding parking on the eastern site to ease local parking pressure, and general approval of improving the appearance of two long-vacant sites.
Tendring District Council was notified in March 2023 that it had secured £6.66million in funding as one of the Government’s Capital Regeneration Projects.
The funding will deliver a modern car park in Milton Road, new social homes in Victoria Street, a refurbished Harwich Library with an Adult Community Learning centre, and major public realm improvements.
The Dovercourt High Street Accelerator is a separate scheme initiative supporting local businesses to create a more vibrant, attractive town centre.
