Three storeys could be added above a Bognor Regis pub to house 43 flats

Plans have been submitted for a three storey upward extension and redevelopment of the existing first and second floor for 43 flats at 2-10 The Hatters Inn, Queensway.

A design and access statement by JJR Designs Ltd, on behalf of Regent Properties Ltd, said the building was formerly a Sainsbury’s store and is three storeys on the corner of Queensway and West Street.

With the Hatters Inn on the ground floor, the first and second floors have been ‘vacant for a number of years’.

The company said this is a brownfield site in a sustainable location, close to the railway station and town facilities and on the edge of a conservation area.

It has no onsite parking and visitors and deliveries use bays at the front or Hothampton or Fitzleet car parks.
