Background
We’ve entered into a 50:50 joint venture to acquire the former Ford Airfield in West Sussex, with plans to transform the site into 1,500 new homes. This transformative development will provide many hundreds of new, quality affordable homes, as well as new services and facilities for the local community. By working in joint venture with Vistry, we’ve unlocked the full potential of the site, making sure it delivers the best outcomes for the community.
The development will provide 50% affordable housing, in a mix of Shared Ownership, First Homes and rented tenures. Alongside the new homes, the site will be transformed to provide a 60-bed care home, a new local centre with commercial and retail uses, almost 1,500 sq m of new community and leisure space, land for a new primary school and extensive public open spaces including new sports pitches and allotments.
£35m in Section 106 contributions will be invested into the local community, with significant funds allocated to Littlehampton Rugby Club, Climping Cricket pitch and a new sports hall in Angmering, helping to improve local sports provision. Approximately £1.8m will be allocated to healthcare provision to support the new community.
