Search the Public Notice PortalA former public toilet block is set for a new lease of life.
Located at the eastern end of Marine Park Gardens in Aldwick, the single-storey building has been approved for conversion into commercial use.
While no decision has been made on what the toilet block will be converted into, the change of use opens up a number of possibilities, including a retail unit or a café.
Arun District Council is seeking to repurpose the building, which has remained out of use for more than a decade.
The toilets were originally closed in 2011 after funding was withdrawn, which forced the council to subsidise them through the summer months.
A previous application for the site which would have seen it converted into a café or tea room was approved in 2012, however the plans were never implemented and the consent has since lapsed.
The current proposals received one objection, in recognition of a petition that has since argued for the reinstatement of the public toilets for their original use.
The petition, which was launched in 2023 and received more than 600 signatures, argued that there are now no public toilet facilities on or near the beach, and called on the council to restore the toilet block.
The site is located within 30 metres of Bognor Regis seafront, within the Marine Park Gardens, which date back to the 1930s.
The gardens currently accommodate an 18 hole putting green, a water fountain, flower beds and a kiosk serving refreshments.
