Members of Hastings Borough Council’s planning committee gave the proposals unanimous approval at their meeting yesterday (Wednesday, November 25).
Cllr Judy Rogers said: “This is really good to see. With the opening of the skatepark next year, it will liven up the seafront. I have been working very closely with the White Rock business group to bring a whole new lease of life to this area.
“Together with the opening of our wonderful pier in March next year, this will make the whole area lovely and part of the Hastings scene.”
The council first unveiled the proposals, which affect the promenade from Hastings Pier to the Robertson Street junction at White Rock, in June.
They include planting eight mature palm trees along White Rock and revamping the existing water feature.
There will also be a projecting viewing platform, as well as the promenade being re-paved.
At the junction of the promenade and pedestrian crossing from Robertson Street there will be a kiosk and terrace.
A pergola is also included in the proposals, which will be located west of the Grade-II listed Boer War memorial.
