Round-up of the decisions in South East
In the South East cluster and individual locations, 24 office buildings will house the Department’s future operations in the area, whilst 25 are to be vacated from winter 2008/09 onwards.
As announced at the start of the consultation in March 2008, the three office buildings in Dover were excluded from the review and are being retained as the original analysis of staffing projections and available accommodation identified a good match. The four Enquiry Centres in Bognor Regis, Crawley, Eastbourne and Guildford were also excluded from the feasibility process as these will be retained.
The buildings being retained (excluded from this review):
- 45A London Road in Bognor Regis
- Unit 2, Peveril Court, London Road, Crawley
- Eastbourne TEC, 27 St Leonards Road, Eastbourne
- Blenheim House, Bridge Street, Guildford
- Centurion House, Bench Street, Dover
- No 1 Control Building, Eastern Docks Dover
- Priory Court, St John's Road, Dover
Elsewhere, all enquiry centre services will remain either at their current location or an alternative site nearby.
Following feasibility outcomes the original proposals will go forward
to implementation.
