The brochure states: “The Old Gun Post, another important iconic building on the seafront, with its sweeping curved roof, is to be refurbished as a state-of-the-art ancillary residential accommodation for the Beachcroft Hotel.”
The application was submitted to Arun District Council’s planning department on October 26 and has just been validated.
