In the design and access statement, RB Design says: “The proposal has been developed to support the continued operation and growth of Ferring Country Centre by providing improved visitor facilities together with additional parking capacity to accommodate increasing visitor demand.”

The new ticket office would be a single-storey building with space for a shop and the car park extension would provide an additional 39 car spaces, adding to the existing 57 parking spaces, plus ten motorcycle spaces and seven accessible spaces.

RB Design says: “The proposal makes efficient use of land already associated with the country centre and does not require the creation of new access arrangements or significant alterations to the wider site layout.”

The ticket office would be positioned to integrate with existing buildings and provide convenient access. The development has been designed to ensure accessibility for all users.

Permission is sought for portable toilets with decking and a 2.65m high timber screen fence to match the existing. Comments to be made by October 1.

The café is a beach kiosk with a decked seating area and a new gate would be installed in the existing fencing to give access to the toilets.

• A proposed residential development in Ferring would see one detached house demolished and replaced with six homes.

Rodway Planning Consultancy Limited has submitted the plans for 42 Sea Lane to Arun District Council on behalf of Mr Mat Boyd.

The scheme for the corner plot includes four new terraced houses fronting Sea Lane and two detached houses at the rear, with access from Sea Lane. Comments to be made by October 1.

The site measures 0.187 hectares in total, including the curtilage of 42 Sea Lane and part of the curtilage of the adjacent 36 Sea Lane Gardens.

The existing house and garage would be demolished, along with the garage of the neighbouring property to the north. Provision has also been made for a replacement garage for 36 Sea Lane Gardens.

In the planning statement, Rodway says the terraced properties would be two-and-a-half-storey dwellings, three having four bedrooms and one having three bedrooms. The properties at the rear would be two-and-a-half-storey dwellings, each with three bedrooms.

The agent adds: “A number of residential developments have been permitted on garden land within the immediate surrounding area. These decisions demonstrate that, where appropriately designed and laid out, this form of residential development can be acceptable in this locality.”

• Revised plans for a residential caravan site in Yapton have been submitted to Arun District Council.

Wellstead Design has made the application for Sunnymead, North End Road, on behalf of Mr and Mrs A. Brazil. Comments to be made by October 1.

Plans show the retention of the fence at the west of the site, in North End Road, plus hardstanding and an access track, alongside the creation of a residential caravan site with three plots with associated parking, landscaping and facilities.
