A virtual planning meeting, which is open to the public, is set to make a decision on plans to create 22 new light industrial units in east Worthing.
With the COVID-19 restrictions banning public gatherings, Adur & Worthing Councils has had to get creative in how it makes decisions on major planning applications in an open and transparent way.
Thanks to video conferencing, the Worthing Borough Council planning committee this week (Wednesday 22nd April 2020) will meet virtually via video conferencing software. It will then be live streamed on Youtube allowing members of the public and press to see and hear proceedings live.
Among the applications to be discussed and voted on is a plan to create 22 new light industrial units on the former EDF car park in Southdownview Road, Worthing. If approved, it will see five new buildings created on the one hectare site along with 97 car parking spaces.
