March 1934: A proposal was put to the Worthing Brewster Session on Wednesday by Arthur Francis Huggons, Secretary of Tamplin's Brewery (Brighton) Ltd, for the removal of the present full licence from the Castle Hotel, Newland Road, to premises to be known as the 'Sports Ground Hotel', Pavilion Road, Worthing.

In connection with the application, it is noted that the site of the Sports Ground Hotel is located within a residential zone, and the council had already refused an application for permission to erect six shops.

 

The Housing and Town Planning Committee recommended that the Town Clerk speak with the applicant, informing them that the Council strongly opposed the application and was not prepared to agree to the introduction of business premises in that area.

Council Stevens, reminded the session that seven councillors were licensing justices and should be 'absolutely debarred' from taking part as they were not entitled to take into account any considerations of town planning.
