The application explained: “The new building would occupy a similar central position to the existing, although it would have a larger footprint, as it is proposed to extend further backwards into site and would introduce an additional storey. “The objective of the proposals is to deliver a comprehensive scheme that would regenerate this underused village centre site.

“The proposals seek a café use at ground floor level and tourist accommodation in the form of en-suite rooms, for individuals or small groups accommodated in bunk rooms.

“A shuttle minibus is proposed as part of the business plan to collect guests staying within the accommodation from the main train station in Chichester. Car parking permits will also be available for the public car park on Marine Drive West.”
