Ford Land to Rent - Tortington

The wider site forms part of the former Ford Airfield and extends across a substantial strategic allocation within the Arun Local Plan. Outline planning permission has been secured for a mixed-use development comprising up to 1,500 dwellings, a 60-bed care home, up to 9,000 sqm of employment floorspace, a local centre of up to 2,350 sqm, a two-form entry primary school, public open space, allotments, sports pitches and associated infrastructure. The proposed local centre includes up to 900 sqm of retail/commercial floorspace together with approximately 1,450 sqm of community and leisure space. The development has been designed around a central “Ford Village Green” with the local centre positioned as part of the wider neighbourhood core. The proposed masterplan includes new pedestrian and cycle connections, public open space, landscaped areas and supporting community infrastructure. Reserved Matters approval have now been secured for the first phases of residential development and infrastructure works. Planning: Outline planning permission was granted under reference F/4/20/OUT for: “Development of up to 1,500 dwellings (Use Class C3), 60-bed care home (Use Class C2), up to 9,000 sqm of employment floorspace (Use Classes B1), local centre of up to 2,350 sqm including retail/commercial and community/leisure floorspace, land for a two-form entry primary school, public open space, allotments, sports pitches and associated infrastructure”. Given the flexibility within the planning permission relating to the acceptable in principle mixed uses, expressions of interest are invited for all commercial uses but in particular E class uses are welcomed. Care operators/developers are also encouraged to submit proposals for those individual elements. Local information: The site is located within the parish of Ford in Arun District, between the villages of Ford, Yapton and Climping. The development forms part of the former Ford Airfield site, which was decommissioned in the 1980s. The larger settlements of Arundel, Littlehampton and Bognor Regis are all located within approximately seven miles of the site. The development benefits from good road connectivity via the A27 and A259. Ford railway station is located approximately one mile from the site and provides direct rail services to Brighton, Southampton and London, together with connections to Littlehampton. The wider development proposals include new homes, employment space, public open space, allotments, sports pitches, a primary school and community infrastructure, creating a significant new mixed-use neighbourhood within the Arun District.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting Commercial Land in Barnham West Sussex

Learn More
What is commercial land?
Commercial land refers to plots of land designated for business use. It may be used for open storage, parking, development, or industrial operations, depending on the planning permission and site infrastructure.
What types of commercial land are available to rent in Barnham West Sussex?
You can find a range of commercial land including hardstanding yards, fenced compounds, development-ready sites, and land with temporary structures or utilities already installed.
What planning permission do I need to use commercial land?
Use depends on planning permission granted by the local council. Common classes include B2 (general industrial), B8 (storage/distribution), or sui generis (e.g. vehicle storage). Always check the permitted use before signing a lease.
Can I build on rented commercial land?
In most cases, permanent construction on leased land requires both landlord consent and planning permission. Some leases allow for temporary buildings, containers, or modular units depending on the site's terms.

How is commercial land usually let?
Commercial land is typically let on leasehold terms, often for 1 to 10 years. Short-term lets, licences, and flexible arrangements may also be available for temporary or seasonal use.
Is the land usually serviced?
Some commercial land comes fully or partially serviced, with utilities such as water, electricity, and drainage. Others may be unserviced and more suitable for open storage or vehicle parking.
Are business rates payable on commercial land?
Yes, in most cases. If the land is rated for business use, you may be liable for business rates. The amount will depend on the site's rateable value, which you can check with the Valuation Office Agency (VOA).
What should I check before renting commercial land?
