Plans to knock down a Worthing office building and replace it with temporary accommodation for the homeless have been supported by councillors.

Worthing Borough Council’s Planning Committee unanimously approved a Worthing Homes scheme which will see 21 flats built on the site of Skywaves House in Ivy Arch Road.

This will be in partnership with Turning Tides with office space also provided for around 20 council and charity employees.
