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. Follow BBC Sussex on Facebook, on X, and on Instagram.
