While the commercial and industrial communities of Newhaven have declined, the town has been granted quite extensive regeneration programmes for several years, to varying degrees of success. These have included a huge increase in properties built in the town over the past decade or so. Recent developments have sought to increase economic prosperity in the area, but have on the whole failed, with the recent closure of several of the town's major shops. One of the business closures was, in part, a protest at the mismanagement of the town.

It has been a harbour since the 19th century, when the river Ouse used to flow through Seaford. Unfortunately, the flow of the river stopped when there was a tempest in the early 19th century. As a solution to this problem, engineers performed 'the cut' at what is now known as Newhaven. They managed to cut a channel down to what is now Newhaven Harbour, and join up with the river further inland than Seaford. This meant that Newhaven then prospered as a harbour town. The Harbour Arm at Newhaven was added later on when people from the Channel Islands migrated to Newhaven, and built the Arm.
The harbour then became very useful during the first and second World Wars, as it was the fastest way to reach Dieppe (France). At this time the town benefited greatly from the Navy being at Newhaven.
Today, the harbour's main function is as a commercial liner harbour. (See above for details on the ferry link with Dieppe and Le Havre.) However, the harbour has seen better days, and the decrepit east side of the harbour proves this. It was not always so, though, and the 'London & Paris' hotel that used to be part of the east side at Newhaven harbour shows this. So does the 'Marine Station', now abandoned, also on the east side that used to serve the London & Paris hotel.
