The ultra modern plans have been designed by Ivon Blumer Architects Ltd, who said the new suites would be an ‘icon statement’ and form part of Bognor’s future regeneration.

“The de Savarys are committed to supporting the local economy with this modern, well designed, forward thinking investment at The Beachcroft Hotel,” the brochure states.

“With a proposed investment of up to £2 million, the new building will form an important addition to the Felpham seafront and promenade, whilst creating a valuable economic boost to the local economy.

“Designed in a modern, contemporary architectural style, inspired by the many art deco buildings in the locality, the building will be an iconic statement forming part of the future regeneration of Bognor Regis and the surrounding parishes.”

The new £2m hotel is close to the Beachcroft Hotel, and the Old Gun Post is also included for refurbishment. Images Ivon Blumer Architects LtdThe new £2m hotel is close to the Beachcroft Hotel, and the Old Gun Post is also included for refurbishment. Images Ivon Blumer Architects Ltd

The plans also include the future refurbishment of the Old Gun Post, a large residential seafront house next to the Gull Point Suites land, also owned by the de Savarys.

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.
