Plans to demolish and rebuild a garden centre have been submitted to Chichester District Council.

The application for Hillier Garden Centre, between Fishbourne and Bosham, is the result of numerous proposals to improve the ageing site.

If approved, the old centre will make way for an energy efficient new one, complete with solar panels, a timber framed poly-tunnel covering a plant market, parking for 239 cars and nine spaces for electric vehicle charging.
