00:00 Hello there, Connor Gormley here.

00:01 I'm a trainee reporter for Sussex World,

00:03 and these are some of our top stories

00:05 from across East and West Sussex today.

00:08 IKEA is set to open its first ever store

00:10 in Sussex later this year in Brighton's Churchill Square.

00:14 If it all goes ahead,

00:15 it will be the 23rd IKEA store to open in the UK,

00:18 but this isn't the first time the company has made plans

00:20 to expand into the region.

00:22 Before this, IKEA had previously announced plans

00:24 for a store in Lansing, but it all fell through,

00:27 and the company later decided to sell the land,

00:29 unfortunately.

00:31 The planning inspectorate's decision

00:32 to approve 300 homes in Bosham, that's near Chichester,

00:35 after the application went to appeal,

00:37 has been met with controversy from local groups.

00:39 The inspector said the plans should have no impact

00:42 on ecosystems nearby or a nearby area

00:45 of outstanding natural beauty,

00:47 despite evidence of the contrary submitted

00:48 by a range of local community groups and organisations,

00:51 including the Chichester Canal Trust,

00:53 who said they were disappointed

00:55 by the decision in a statement.

00:56 A historic Eastbourne hotel,

00:58 famous for hosting the likes of Charlie Chaplin

01:01 and Winston Churchill, was named

01:02 Large Business of the Year at the Eastbourne Business Awards,

01:06 built in 1875, with 152 gorgeously furnished rooms.

01:11 The luxury hotel was also played host

01:13 to names like Sir Ernest Shackleton and Dame Helen Mirren.

01:16 Speaking out about the win,

01:18 general manager Jonathan Webley said the accolade

01:20 was genuinely humbling, inspiring his team

01:23 to persistently raise the standard

01:24 in the hospitality industry.

01:26 That's all from me today,

01:27 but for more news, photos, interviews, and video,
