A closed down pub in Bognor Regis has become the subject of a change of use planning application.

The application proposes that the Prince Of Wales public house at 1 Highfield Road, which has been vacant for two years, be replaced by four, one-bedroom flats and two, two-bedroom flats. It also outlined the intention to remodel the roof over the single storey building and make minor alterations to existing facade.

In its economic development statement, the applicant, Bedford House Developments Ltd, said the site was not suitable for a new drinking establishment as there was 'no direct access from the main road'.
