A company bidding to redevelop a former police station may have to return to the drawing board.

Red Square Developments wants to construct an eight-storey block of shops and flats on the site in Union Place, Worthing.

But council planners say "the scheme looks too big."

Red-Square proposed three ground floor shops and up to 103 apartments above.

Critics argue that such a building will "substantially and detrimentally alter the skyline."
