SITE UPDATE

5 April 2024

This week, we completed the installation of the temporary reptile fencing, which are a precautionary measure to protect reptiles on the site, ensuring that seasonal species constraints are adhered to. Public signs have been attached to the fencing where appropriate.

We can also confirm that the work to clear a small number of trees and vegetation is now underway. This will allow the new site entrance to be created, while also ensuring nesting birds are not disturbed as we head into spring.

Reptile Fencing

We are installing temporary reptile fencing at the south corner of the proposed extension site.

These reptile fences are temporary, and are being installed under supervision of an ecologist to support the planning application.

Footpath Update

23 February 2024

In recent weeks, we have received several queries relating to the proposed diversion of Footpath 417.

A footpath will be available to residents at all times.

The programme is as follows:

For reference:

• Our planning application includes the proposal for an additional bus stop on Roman Road, to reduce additional walking time on the re-routed footpath to catch the bus
• The existing Footpath 417 will only be formally removed once West Sussex County Council confirm that the New Diverted Footpath 417 has been delivered to their satisfaction

If you have any queries relating to the proposed extension to the Home of Rolls-Royce, please don’t hesitate to contact [email protected]

Archaeological Survey on Proposed Extension Site

13 November 2023

In liaison with the CDC Archaeology Officer as part of our Planning Application, a follow-up archaeological survey is currently taking place on our proposed extension land, lasting approximately five months.
We are discussing the potential for a public display of any findings with the survey supplier.

• The follow-up archaeological survey on the proposed extension land commenced on Monday 13 November 2023
• Equipment will arrive via Westerton Lane, along the Bridleway and into the site via the access gate (as per previous works)
• Equipment will largely remain on site throughout the duration of the survey, we therefore expect very little ongoing use of the Bridleway
• Fencing has been erected to the immediate east of Footpath 417 along the length of the proposed extension land
• Advisory signage has been posted at the Westerton Lane junction to the Bridleway and at either end of Footpath 417
