West Sussex County Council has earmarked the former Lec site on Shripney Road among 16 possible locations for the waste facility.

This comes after it highlighted the site as a potential location for a waste transfer centre.

Neither scheme is wanted by councillors or nearby residents.

Cllr Paul Wells said: "We have got to stand up and fight the county council on the issue of an incinerator.

"That site is not the right site. It is a gateway for Bognor and it is the last thing we want on there."
