The Buckingham Road Multi Storey Car Park (MSCP) in Worthing sits at a strategically important location just off Montague Street, the main pedestrianised shopping thoroughfare. Built in the 1960s, the car park had long served the community but had become a symbol of decline by the 2010s.

The structure showed significant deterioration, its facilities were outdated, and its environment was unwelcoming. Frequent antisocial behaviour, poor lighting, and inadequate safety measures made users feel uncomfortable, while structural concerns raised doubts over its long-term viability. With the closure of the Grafton Street MSCP, Buckingham Road became the primary town centre parking facility, making its regeneration a priority for Worthing Borough Council.

Constructed in 1964–65, the car park was showing all the hallmarks of ageing reinforced concrete in a marine environment. Chloride ingress, carbonation, and spalling were widespread, particularly on the upper levels that were most exposed to sea air.
