THE PROPOSALS

To deliver its aspirations for the local area, Ford Parish Council prepared a Neighbourhood Plan alongside the preparation of a new Local Plan for Arun District. The Neighbourhood Plan sets out the Parish’s vision for the future of Ford.

Following the decommissioning of the airfield, Ford faced an uncertain future with significant ad-hoc development over many years with no policy basis or strategy for future growth. In 2013 the Ford Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group approached the landowners of Ford Airfield with a view to bringing forward development at the site. This stemmed from the Parish’s frustration with the level of ad-hoc development that had taken place at the airfield, coupled with their desire to realise a number of objectives as part of a comprehensive development.

The Ford Neighbourhood Plan and Arun District Local Plan have now been adopted as planning policy to guide the future of the local area. Both Plans allocate Ford Airfield for a mixed-use residential-led development.

Extensive community engagement has been undertaken in the Parish over the last six years, with the community feeding into the design concepts for the site on an ongoing basis. The proposals have been led by the local community from the outset and the community’s aspirations have been translated into a workable masterplan.

The masterplan for the site makes provision for:

• 1,500 homes, including 450 affordable homes

• Employment land

• A local centre / community hub including retail / commercial and community / leisure facilities

• Primary school and nursery

• Care home

• Public open space and sports facilities

• Reconfiguration of Ford market

• Associated infrastructure, landscaping and ancillary works

In line with the Neighbourhood Plan, the proposals will ensure that the existing market at the Airfield can continue to successfully operate both during and beyond the construction process.

The District Council has also confirmed its preferred location for a new secondary school. This is indicated on the Illustrative Masterplan. While we are not seeking planning permission for the new secondary school, the Masterplan has been prepared to ensure that it does not prejudice its future delivery.

Homes, character and creating placesThe creation of a scheme that will be well integrated within the surrounding area, have a character of its own and deliver high-quality homes of a type that are most needed in the local area.

Place makingThe integration of key features and design techniques to enable the creation of a successful place and a pleasant environment.

Heart of FordThe creation of a ‘heart’ to the village – a centrally located meeting point – that will deliver a range of much needed local facilities for local people of all ages in an accessible location.

Green and blue infrastructureThe delivery of a comprehensive, joined-up network of formal and informal open spaces throughout the site, connected to a series of drainage features to create a playful, imaginative and exciting environment.

Movement and connectivityThe delivery of a development that will encourage movement by sustainable modes of travel and is well related to and improve existing connectivity in the local area.

The following key principles underpin the masterplan, which formed the basis of consultation with the local community.

DRAINAGEEnsure that the drainage strategy is informed by ADC’s drainage hierarchy.

NOISEIncorporate buffer planting, particularly to mitigate impacts from the Viridor, Grundon and Southern Water waste facilities, alongside Ford Airfield and Rudford Industrial Estates, road traffic and the proposed employment uses.

ODOURAvoid sensitive uses in locations that could be affected by the Southern Water waste water treatment works, whilst not prejudicing its current or future operation.

ARCHAEOLOGYPreserve elements of military remains (i.e. the runways) at the airfield and reflect the historic alignment of the old canal.

UTILITIESReserve a corridor to provide a future connection to the Southern Water waste water treatment works, including potential expansion, and have regard to existing infrastructure / easements.

SEPARATIONAchieve visual separation between Ford and Yapton / Climping.

FLOOD RISKHave regard to the site’s proximity to flood zones 2 and 3 to the north / north east.

BUILT HERITAGEHave regard to the site’s proximity to listed buildings.

TREESRetain good quality trees that provide an important landscape function.

ECOLOGYConserve and enhance the site’s ecological assets and mitigate any wider impacts given the site’s functional relationship to the Arun Valley Special Protection Area (SPA).

ROUTESHave regard to existing public rights of way and cycle routes.

EXISTING BUILDINGSTo facilitate the proposed development it is necessary to demolish a limited number of existing buildings at the site. It is also necessary to partly remove existing runway hardstanding (western runway).

FORD MARKETProtect and retain the existing market operations.

The range of historic, existing and neighbouring uses at the site, alongside planning and environmental considerations, have informed the masterplan. This includes the following:

FLOOD RISK AND DRAINAGE

The site is wholly located within Flood Zone 1, with the exception of a small area to the north that falls within Flood Zone 3, although no built development is proposed in this location. The site is therefore at low risk of flooding.

The proposals will increase the level of impermeable surfaces on the site, and therefore to off-set this increase, a range of sustainable drainage techniques are proposed to ensure surface water is managed effectively.

In summary, the proposed surface water drainage strategy for the development involves the provision of several attenuation basins in the north, north-west, south and south-west of the site, which will pump surface water to nearby watercourses, alongside shallow infiltration techniques such as permeable paving, where feasible. The basins will provide large areas of greenspace for recreation that also enhance the proposed development.

The proposed drainage strategy meets the current requirements of national policy and current climate change allowances, while the proposed finished ground levels for the development also support the overall strategy. The strategy is based on information known about the site and findings of site investigation works, soils infiltration rate testing and groundwater levels recorded to date.

The drainage strategy represents a robust approach and will ensure that the site and surrounding area are not susceptible to flooding as a result of the development.

HOW WILL THE PROPOSAL BE DELIVERED

PLANNING APPLICATIONS

The proposals are being brought forward as part of an outline planning application.

As part of this application, all matters of detail will be reserved for later approval, except for access.

This means that detailed design matters concerning the appearance, layout, landscaping and scale of the proposals will be addressed as part of future Reserved Matters applications.

A series of Parameter Plans have been prepared, which will inform the detailed proposals for the site. These dictate where certain uses can be located and places limits on building heights and density across the site.

The Illustrative Masterplan represents one way in which the development could be built out in accordance with the Parameter Plans. While this provides a useful example of how development could be delivered on the site, it is illustrative only at this stage.

A separate full planning application will also be submitted for the reconfiguration of Ford Market, as explained earlier.

TECHNICAL WORK

The applications will be supported by a series of technical documents which have informed the proposals for the site. This includes the following areas:

• Landscape and visual

• Heritage

• Archaeology

• Biodiversity

• Trees

• Transport and access

• Air quality

• Noise and vibration

• Agricultural land

• Flood risk and drainage

• Ground conditions

PHASING

The following diagram provides an indication of how the proposed development could be delivered. This will be developed in more detail at the detailed design stage.

COMMUNITY LAND TRUST

The Ford Community Land Trust (CLT) has been established to help deliver and run the community infrastructure to meet the aspirations of the residents of Ford.

A CLT is a non-profit community based organisation that develops / owns and runs community assets for the benefit of the community. Government grant funding has been made available to CLT’s previously and they are an increasingly common way of providing local needs and benefits.

The CLT is looking to take on the running of the Community Hub and potentially other community assets such as some affordable homes and open space.
