WSP on behalf of Worthing Borough Council, invites you to provide feedback on redevelopment proposals of the vacant landfill site at Decoy Farm, Worthing. The site has been identified as being strategically important for boosting employment opportunities and economic performance in West Sussex.
In 2021 we consulted with stakeholders and the local community on our plans to introduce an employment-led scheme of commercial, industrial and storage or distribution spaces. The feedback from this exercise was useful in shaping the final scheme proposals you will see on this website.
We would now like to offer you an opportunity to view our final proposals for the site ahead of the submission of the planning application in the coming weeks.
Please take your time to review the proposals and supporting information and provide some feedback.
