Submission of Planning Applications

We are pleased to announce that the first two detailed residential planning applications (reserved matters) and the infrastructure application for The Landings have now been submitted to Arun District Council. These submissions mark significant milestones in the creation of a vibrant mixed-use community at Ford Airfield. The planning permission for up to 1500 homes at Ford Airfield was established via the outline planning permission in 2023; this application will provide detailed designs for the site for the first two residential parcels of the site, making up 697 Homes.

You can provide your comments and feedback directly via the planning portal using references F/14/24/RES & F/15/24/RES

Upcoming On-Site Preparatory Works

We also want to inform you that preparatory work is continuing on-site. These works will include:

Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Surveys: As part of our safety measures, we will be conducting thorough assessments for any unexploded ordnance on the site.

Archaeological Surveys: To ensure that any potential archaeological interests are properly identified, we will conduct the necessary archaeological investigations.

These activities are crucial to ensure the safe and successful progression of the development and may require temporary restrictions on access to certain areas of the site.

We will provide further updates as this work progresses.
