Felpham restaurant to be converted into cottages
and live on Freeview channel 276
Ye Old Malt House Restaurant, in Waterloo Road, Felpham, is set to be transformed into two, two-bedroom cottages after Arun District Council gave the proposal the green light.
The two-storey building, which comprises a restaurant on the ground floor and a flat above, is within the Felpham conservation area and is specifically designated as a ‘building of special character’.

Council officers said the while the change of use was ‘unfortunate’, it would not harm the established character of the area, which is already predominantly residential.
In their report, officers said the property had been on the market since January 2016.
Only three offers had been received in this time and all were subsequently withdrawn. There have been no viewings since December 2016, officers said.
