This afternoon (Thursday), Angmering Village Greens issued the following statement:
Shop Update
It is with deep regret that we must inform you all that we will no longer be going into no. 2 The Square due to factors beyond our control. This is unfortunate but we hope to have a stall or shop elsewhere in the future and are exploring alternative avenues. Thank you for continuing to support us, it means a lot. Nicole & Nic.
We are so sorry for Tea in the Square owners, Anne-Marie and Helen, that the sale of the lease did not proceed and for their resultant substantial losses.

Roadworks are planned in the central village area - principally The Square and Water Lane - from Monday 18 October 2021 to Monday 25 October 2021. Access onto High Street from Water Lane will be blocked. 4 way traffic lights will be in place and some parking bays will be suspended during the works. The village centre therefore is likely to see serious traffic congestion and lengthy delays during the daytime especially. However, all the shops will remain open during this period despite the reduced parking.
Mayflower Park Lighting - The Clerk talked through the supporting paper and confirmed that a grant to undertake the works had been awarded by the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner The amount of the awarded grant is £41.5k. She advised quotes for installation of the lighting were being sort along with various different options – options include having lights on timers, solar lighting, low level lighting, lighting activated when movement is detected etc., a decision on what would be best will be required when all quotes had been received. This will be brought to the next full council meeting when all information has been gathered.

Proposals by McCarthy & Stone to build a retirement complex in the location of the old Chandlers BMW site in Water Lane have been refused by Arun District Council (Planning Application No. A/110/21/PL). The reasons given are:
1) The proposed development fails to provide on-site affordable housing and fails to provide robust viability evidence for the provision of affordable housing off-site by way of a commuted sum of a proportionate sum (i.e. more than £50,418), in conflict with policy AH SP2 of the Arun Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (2021).
2) The residential development comprises a density of 75 dwellings per hectare which constitutes over-development of the site, with insufficient on-site vehicle parking and cycle parking provision. There would be less than substantial harm to the Angmering Conservation Area and 'Eachways' Grade II Listed Building but the public benefits of the proposed development do not sufficiently outweigh the harm caused to these Heritage Assets due to the over-development of the site; and the scale, massing and appearance of the proposed building would appear bulky, out of scale and out of keeping with the character and appearance of these Heritage Assets. Consequently, the proposed development is contrary to Policy D DM1, Policy D SP1, Policy H DM2(d), Policy HER DM1, Policy HER SP1, Policy HER DM3 and Policy T SP1 of the Arun ocal Local Plan, Policy EH1, Policy HA3, Policy HD2, Policy HD4, Policy HD5, Policy HD6, Policy HD7 and HD8 of the Angmering Neighbourhood Plan, the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), the Arun Design Guide, the ADC Parking Standards SPD and Sections 66 and 72 of the Planning (Listed Building and REPORT_1011(ODB)

A/197/21/PL: Change of use of vacant retail shop to restaurant to include the installation of new kitchen extraction system, AC condensers, new windows, awning, planters. This application affects the character & appearance of the Angmering Conservation Area & is in CIL Zone 2 (Zero Rated) as other development. Angmering Framing & Stitches, The Square
