The first phase of this new business park development on the outskirts of Billingshurst in Sussex, provided a total of 12 speculative light industrial units. The 21 acre site will ultimately provide a mixture of industrial and business space along with retail outlets, a supermarket and a petrol filling station.

The construction involved traditional ground bearing pad foundations and floor slabs cast onto the natural soils. The surface water drainage design was a critical area in order to meet the planning requirements and incorporated various SuDS features such as attenuation basins and permeable paving before discharging to nearby drainage ditches at greenfield runoff rates.
