As previously reported in the Observer, the relocation of staff comes as a result of the plans for a new swimming pool (see right) which were approved on Wednesday.

The plans for St Joesph’s follow that for Ashley House, in Aldwick, approved by Arun District Council in August, to create a HMO for 70 resort employees.

The deadline for comments on the latest application (BR/348/16/PL) is February 2 with a decision due by February 16.
