Plans have been put forward for a mail order sex shop to operate from an industrial estate.

Apollo Sales has applied to Brighton and Hove City Council for a licence at the Gemini Centre in Old Shoreham Road, Hove.

No objections have been sent to the council from neighbours who were notified.

But current policy is not to have any sex shop in Nevill ward where the estate is based.

Councillors will consider the application at a licensing meeting on Thursday, January 9.

Paul Hart, city services director, said although the estate was near schools, it was unlikely children would walk past the business.
