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 Land in North Bersted

Learn More
What is commercial land?
Commercial land is land intended for business use rather than residential development. Depending on planning permissions and site characteristics, it may be suitable for storage, parking, industrial activities, open-air operations or future development.
What types of land are available to rent in North Bersted?
Available sites may include open storage yards, hardstanding compounds, development plots, vehicle storage areas, secure fenced sites and land with existing utility connections. Availability varies depending on local demand and planning restrictions.
What planning permissions should I check before renting land?
Before entering into an agreement, it's important to confirm that the site's permitted use aligns with your intended activity. Planning permissions can vary significantly between locations and may restrict how the land can be used. If you're unsure, seek advice from the local planning authority or a planning consultant.
Can I build on rented land?
Any permanent construction will usually require both landlord approval and the appropriate planning consent. Some agreements may also allow temporary structures, storage containers or modular buildings, subject to specific conditions.
What is commercial land commonly used for?
Common uses include vehicle storage, contractor yards, plant and equipment storage, logistics operations, outdoor manufacturing activities, parking, event space and development projects. Permitted uses will depend on the site's planning status and lease terms.
What lease arrangements are typically available?
Land can be offered on a variety of terms, ranging from short-term licences to longer lease agreements. Some occupiers require flexibility for temporary projects, while others seek longer-term arrangements to support ongoing operations.
Are utility services usually available?
Some sites are fully serviced with utilities such as electricity, water and drainage already connected. Others may be offered as basic open land without services. It's important to understand exactly what infrastructure is available before committing.
Do I have to pay business rates?
Business rates may apply depending on how the land is assessed and used. Liability is typically based on the site's rateable value, although relief schemes may be available in certain circumstances.
What should I consider before renting land?
Key considerations include access for vehicles, site security, ground conditions, drainage, utility connections, planning permissions, environmental constraints and any restrictions contained within the lease. Understanding these factors early can help avoid unexpected costs or operational challenges.
How can I find a suitable site?
Start by defining your intended use, space requirements and preferred location. Once you've identified potential options, review planning permissions, access arrangements, available services and lease terms to ensure the site meets your operational needs.
