A new industrial premises or warehouse could be built in Bognor Regis

Outline plans have been submitted to demolish a derelict building and replace it with up to 18,580sqm of new industrial or warehouse and ancillary offices floorspace at Newlands Road.

A design and access statement by Roberts Limbrick for Hanbury Properties said the site was to the west of the existing Rolls-Royce facility and south of Lidl on a parcel of agricultural land.

"Albeit relatively flat, the site has a high water table and therefore any proposed development will need to incorporate a suitable sustainable drainage design solution to improve surface water run-off," it said.

Access would also be an issue, it said: "A robust design solution for HGV access to the site which respects the existing access to the Rolls-Royce development will need to be incorporated to ensure safe access for all."

Current access is off a private estate road.
