Seafront arcade redevelopment plans finalised
A council has applied for planning permission to redevelop a West Sussex shopping centre.
Arun District Council published its finalised plans for 35 flats above The Arcade in Bognor Regis, with retail space being maintained on the ground floor.
Parts of the property, which first opened in 1902, will be replaced and the new homes will be added across two storeys.
The council purchased the shopping centre in 2017.
The finalised £8m proposal was published following feedback from a public consultation that concluded in April.
The council approved the project's funding in 2023 as part of the Regis Quarter regeneration scheme, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
If planning permission is granted the Bognor Regis Business Improvement District section of the property, accessible from Belmont Street, will be demolished.
It will be replaced with retail space and an entrance to the new apartments.
Two other sections of the arcade would be replaced, including a section damaged in a fire in the 1930s.
The existing upper floor entrance on Belmont Street will be removed but entrances from York Road and High Street would be kept.

Canada's Dundee Precious to buy UK's Adriatic Metals in $1.25 billion deal
(Reuters) -Canada's Dundee Precious Metals will acquire UK's Adriatic Metals in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $1.25 billion, the companies said on Friday, marking the latest in a string of foreign takeovers of UK firms. The proposed transaction comes amid a growing wave of acquisitions targeting UK-based firms, with more than 30 bids exceeding 100 million pounds announced so far this year, up from 26 during the same period last year. Toronto-listed Dundee is offering 268 pence per Adriatic share in a cash-and-stock deal, consisting of 93 pence in cash and 0.1590 new Dundee shares for each Adriatic share, a 50.5% premium to Adriatic's closing price on May 19. Dundee said the combined group will strengthen operations through an "attractive production, mineral reserve and mineral resource base and a compelling metal mix." "The Vareš is a logical fit with our portfolio, and adds near-term production growth and mine life, a highly prospective land package, and cash flow diversification," Dundee CEO David Rae said in a statement. Dundee, a gold miner with operations in Bulgaria and Namibia, is acquiring London-listed Adriatic, which is currently developing the Vares silver project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
