Bognor Regis Regeneration
Over 2000 visitors who saw some exciting and positive plans for how Bognor Regis could develop in the future viewed the St Modwen plans. I hope you took the opportunity to go and have a look.
In respect of both sites, but especially the LEC site, in my opinion it is vitally important that business owners take the opportunity to express their view. It is important in terms of ensuring the proposals have taken on board their requirements and concerns regarding the need for new and high quality premises to allow the sustainable improvement of local business, and create the commercial and social environment in which their businesses operate.
Businesses must make their voices heard too. Arun's requirement was, and still is that the LEC site has to be 'employment dominated'. The 'residential only' option (of the three proposed) is not one which Arun supports nor has promoted as an option with Sime Darby.
There needs to be some evidence of demand from local businesses that their very vocal requirement for new premises in the Town is very real.
I believe that companies who are looking to relocate in the Town should contact Sime Darby (or the Regeneration Team) as soon as possible to promote their potential occupation of the Lec site, to encourage the relevant agents that there is demand for new commercial property on this site.
Hopefully many of you will have taken the time to visit the exhibition of Sime Darby's proposals for the LEC site at the Regis Centre this week. This is your opportunity to prove to the owners that commercial property is what is wanted for this site. The exhibition & consultation is open Wednesday 6th February 10am - 8pm, and Thursday 7th February 10am - 5pm.
You can still view the proposals for the St Modwen proposals and make a comment at www.arun.gov.uk/bognorregisregeneration
