PLANNING: Seven-year switch bid by flats’ owners

SEVEN years after Arun councillors approved a block of 23 flats in Woodlands Avenue, Rustington, they will be asked to take another look at the development.

Willow Court was repossessed by the Bank of Scotland after Speyside Developments Ltd, hit by the economic downturn, went into liquidation in 2009, with the building almost complete.

However, several details in the finished block did not match the original plans, and now Kent-based property business Spurdown Ltd, which bought Willow Court earlier this year, is asking Arun to accept the variations.

They include leaving out patio railings, the use of railings instead of glass panels on first floor balconies at the front, the omission of ‘Juliet’ balconies at the rear, a reduction in roof windows and installing rear porches.
