Plans have been submitted for a former casino to be turned into tea rooms. An empty lot in Ann Street, previously home to Ann Street Casino, could be filled by a tea room and gift shop in Worthing town centre. An application to Adur and Worthing Councils was submitted by Finola Brady Architectural Services, which reads: “The proposed change of use is to a licensed tea room and gift shop.
