Decision due on Brooklands Park transformation plans

Worthing Borough Council is looking to spend more than £3million to improve the attraction.

The plans would see a new visitor hub and café built, alongside an adventure play area, outdoor space for multi-use events, contemplation garden, gateways, paths, seating and shelters.

An application for the new cafe, public toilets and accessible play area is due to be discussed by Worthing Borough Council’s planning committee next Wednesday (May 27).

Officers are recommending approval. In their report they said: “The opportunity to provide a building of visual quality which will act as a gateway to the rest of the park is to be welcomed and accordingly the application is considered acceptable.”
