Description

The subject site extends to approximately 17.5 acres in total with a net developable area of circa 8.64 acres. The land comprises a former landfill site historically used for the disposal of household waste during the 1970s. The site is bordered by a combination of woodland, natural vegetation and watercourses creating a defined and contained development edge.

Worthing is an established and affluent coastal town in West Sussex, forming part of the wider South Coast economic corridor. It benefits from excellent multimodal connectivity, acting as a strategic gateway with strong road, rail, air, and sea links. London is accessible in under 1 hour 30 minutes by rail, while the town also enjoys direct access to the regional motorway network. The subject site is situated to the north-east of Worthing town centre, within a well-established industrial and employment hub.

Road connectivity is strong, with the site accessed via the A27, the principal east-west arterial route along the South Coast. The A27 provides onward links to the A23/ M23 for London and Gatwick Airport, and to the A24 for connections northwards.

It lies approximately 300 metres from East Worthing Railway Station, providing convenient rail access for both workforce and logistics movements. Decoy Farm is well positioned relative to key South Coast centres, with approximate distances as follows:
Brighton - 12.8 miles
Chichester - 20.8 miles
Portsmouth - 38.5 miles
Southampton - 53.2 miles

In addition, Shoreham Port-a key commercial port facility-lies approximately 6.1 miles to the east, offering further strategic advantages for businesses requiring maritime logistics capability.
