Plans for new shops for Shoreham and Lancing, Worthing road closures and an update on Littlehampton speed limits are among recent applications and notifications on the Public Notice Portal.
• Plans for The Original Factory Shop site in Shoreham have been revealed.
Savers Shoreham is looking to open a shop at 56-58 High Street, to include staff facilities, new staff toilets and storage, all on the ground floor.
Ampersand Associates has made an application to Adur District Council on behalf of AS Watson to install a new shopfront, fascia signage and projecting signage.


New flooring will be installed, along with a new serving counter.
There are separate applications for the new shopfront and for advert consent for one fascia sign and one projecting sign.
• A premises licence for a new convenience store in Lancing is sought to allow for the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises.
New President Limited has made the application to Adur District Council for The Corner Shop, at 87 South Street.


Authorisation is sought for alcohol sales Monday to Sunday, 7am to 11pm, with opening hours being the same.
The applicant has offered a set of conditions to address the licensing objectives. Consultation closes on Wednesday, May 6, and a committee hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 26, at 7pm, if required.
• Lancing College Preparatory School seeks advertisement consent for signage at the site in Broadwater Road, Worthing.
The application to Worthing Borough Council includes additional signage on two existing free-standing signs facing Sompting Avenue and Broadwater Road.


The aim is to amend the existing signs to incorporate Explorer Corner Nursery & Pre-School and reduce the banner area used to advertise specific events.
• Road closures for Worthing RunFest 2026 have been announced, affected the town centre and Ferring between 8am and 1.30pm on Sunday, May 3.
The A259 Brighton Road will be closed from Ham Road to The Steyne, as well as The Steyne along its entire length, Marine Parade and West Parade, Heene Road and Grand Avenue.
George V Avenue will be closed from West Parade to Eirene Road and the closure will continue along Eirene Road, Marine Crescent and Marine Drive from George V Avenue to Amberley Drive, affecting Sea Lane, Amberley Drive and Marine Drive to Aldsworth Avenue.
Access to properties on the affected length of road will be maintained at all times under the direction of event marshals.
• Middle Street in Shoreham will be closed throughout its entire length to allow maintenance to telecommunications cables to be carried out in safety.
The West Sussex County Council order will come into effect on May 5 and remain in force until May 11. It may remain in force for up to 18 months, or until the proposed works are completed, whichever is earlier.
• A junction improvement scheme is to be constructed to improve safety for drivers using Lindum Road and Littlehampton Road in Worthing.
The works will mean Lindum Road will be temporarily closed from its junction with Littlehampton Road, southwards for 40m.
The county council order will come into effect on May 5 and remain in force until May 15. It may remain in force for up to 18 months, or until the proposed works are completed, whichever is earlier.
• The public footpath on the north bank of the River Arun in Arundel will remain closed to maintain safety while works to stabilise an adjacent structure are carried out.
The county council has given notice of the continued closure of Public Footpath 3064 from its junction with Mill Road eastwards to Arundel Museum.
An emergency closure notice was previously issued, in December 2025, due to structural assessments of the historic Blackfriars ruins in Arundel.
The new order, which came into effect on April 16, continues the restrictions. The order may remain in force for up to six months, or until the proposed works are completed, whichever is earlier.
• Temporary restrictions on the A284 Lyminster Bypass have been made permanent by the county council.
A notice was issued to confirm the current layout of speed limits on the bypass and the bypassed section of Lyminster Road have been made permanent.
The order, which came into effect on April 20, also prohibits driving on a short section of Lyminster Road bypassed by the current road layout.
The restrictions were put in place when the Lyminster Bypass opened and no changes have been made under the permanent order.
