HMRC will vacate the site in March, 2021, to move to its new premises at the redeveloped Teville Gate House in Worthing.

The new five-storey development is being constructed and has replaced the derelict building that used to house the tax office.

It will become home to around 900 full-time-equivalent employees from existing offices.
