A planning application has been submitted for a site off the Bishopric on the site of Horsham Bowling Club and Lifestyle Ford.

It has been mooted as an ideal home for a John Lewis, and this week Horsham District Council’s said the authority was fighting hard to attract the premier retailer to the town.
