The Council has held a long standing ambition to replace the current Visitor Centre in Hastings Country Park with a new Information Centre.

The Council has appointed Cave Cooperative Architects to design a building using an innovative approach to design and build and employing exemplar sustainable materials and methods for construction.

The Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve has 345 hectares of ancient woodland, heathland and grassland together with 3 miles (5km) of dramatic cliffs and coastline. Lying within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, most of the park has been designated a Special Area of Conservation, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is a designated Local Nature Reserve.
