Planning committee

Decided by Arun Planning Committee on 24 Jun 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

Officers advised approval because the recessed, lightweight roof would have limited visual and neighbouring impact.
The Town Council objected to the permanent scaffolding appearance, while a neighbouring business raised light, ventilation and access concerns.
The committee approved the application conditionally without debate after one councillor proposed approval and another seconded it.
