Purpose

The
Arun Growth Programme (2018) identified a
public realm improvement scheme along the section of the Esplanade
between Lennox Street and Clarence Road.  This links with Levelling Up Funded Improvements
that Arun District Council are making at the Alexandra Theatre
alongside the recently approved planning application for a new
Premier Inn on the corner of the Esplanade and Clarence
Road.
The project budget was
approved in decision
SSED02(24/25).  The construction
budget allows for Contractor’s charges, third party
contractor costs and professional fees amongst other budget
allowances.

Decision

The Director of Place Services has awarded a
contract to the value of £386,255.57 to Landbuild Ltd for the construction of the Bognor
Regis Esplanade Public Realm Improvement as set out in the report.
The construction is set to commence in October 2024 with
anticipated completion by April 2025.
