Chichester Light Industrial to Rent - Hambrook, West Sussex

Apollo Business Park is undergoing a complete and high-quality transformation from a former HQ complex into a brand-new, thoughtfully designed business park. Every visible surface across the site is being replaced - including all groundworks, cladding, glazing, personal access doors, electronically operated sectional loading doors, and insulation - to deliver a modern, energy-efficient development targeting a significantly improved EPC rating. The site offers flexible and versatile accommodation across both ground and first floors, with unit sizes ranging from approximately 913 sq ft to 2,194 sq ft. Units can be easily combined to create larger spaces tailored to tenants' needs as required. Each floor benefits from generous ceiling heights of 3.7m, with electronically operated sectional loading doors (3m high x 3.9m wide) at ground floor level, providing excellent access and usability. The ceiling height also makes the units suitable for operations requiring vertical clearance - such as vehicle lifts, storage racking, or light manufacturing processes - offering versatility for a wide range of occupiers. The business park is set within a unique and picturesque environment, with open views over the South Downs National Park, and is surrounded by fields and woodland. A significant portion of the site itself includes grassed and wooded areas, creating an unusually green and attractive setting rarely found in similar developments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting Light Industrial Units in Portsmouth

Search all light industrial units
What is a light industrial unit?
A light industrial unit is a commercial space typically used for manufacturing, assembly, storage, or distribution of goods. These units are generally quieter and cleaner than heavy industrial premises and are often used by small to medium-sized businesses.
What types of businesses typically rent light industrial units?
Common tenants include e-commerce companies, tradespeople, craft manufacturers, food production businesses, and logistics or delivery firms. Startups and SMEs also use these units for flexible warehousing and workshop space.
What should I consider before renting a unit?
Key factors include location, transport links, size, loading access, ceiling height, power supply, parking, lease terms, business rates, and whether planning permission suits your intended use.
How much do light industrial units cost to rent?
Costs vary by location and size. In 2025, typical rents range from £6–£12 per square foot per year outside of London, and £15–£30+ per square foot in central areas. Additional costs such as business rates, utilities, and service charges may apply.
What lease terms are usually available?
Most units are offered on flexible leases (3–10 years), but shorter-term licenses may be available. Break clauses and rent review periods are common. Always seek legal advice before signing.
Are business rates included in the rent?
No, tenants usually pay business rates separately unless it's an all-inclusive rent. Some smaller businesses may qualify for Small Business Rates Relief (SBRR), which can significantly reduce the cost.
Do I need planning permission for my business?
Light industrial units typically fall under Use Class E(g)(iii). If your business activity differs (e.g., retail or heavy machinery), you may need to apply for a change of use with the local council.
Can I make alterations to the unit?
Most landlords allow internal changes with prior consent, especially if they improve functionality. Structural changes usually require formal approval. Always check your lease before making alterations.
What is typically included in a light industrial unit?
Standard features often include roller shutter doors, 3-phase electricity, concrete flooring, lighting, small office areas, WCs, and parking. Specifications vary, so confirm before committing.
Do I need insurance?
Yes. You’ll usually need public liability insurance, employers’ liability (if applicable), and contents insurance. The landlord typically covers the building insurance, but check your lease for details.
Can I sublet or assign the lease?
This depends on the lease terms. Some leases allow it with landlord consent; others do not. If flexibility is important, clarify this during negotiations.
How do I find a suitable light industrial unit?
You can start your search on LoopNet then get in touch with local specialist commercial agents.
How does self-storage work?
Self-storage allows you to rent a secure unit where you can store personal or business items. You choose a unit size, move in your items, and typically use your own lock and key. Units are accessible during set hours, and you can rent short- or long-term depending on your needs.
