Enterprise Hubs

 

Since 1999, SEEDA has established the Enterprise Hub principle in regional planning setting up 15 Enterprise Hubs - business incubation establishments - at key locations throughout the South East, providing workspace and support for over 520 start-up high-tech companies.

 

Enterprise Hubs can be small or large and on a scale appropriate to the area they serve.

 

Ford offers the opportunity to focus new development around a multi modal transport hub and so meets the criteria for an Enterprise Hub.

 

FEH addresses the transport; employment and land use issues facing Arun District in the period after 2011 and will make a positive contribution to the identified economic and employment priorities for the District as a whole and in particular the regeneration of the coastal towns.

 

FEH includes proposals for:

 

  • A new Science or Technology Park – with higher quality, well-paid jobs and the opportunity to develop links with local universities, the Learning and Skills Council etc.

 

  • A new link road from the A259 at Comet Corner, to the A27, bridging the railway at Ford.

 

  • A solution to numerous road transport issues which, in turn, help to create an infrastructure attractive to business.

 

  • A Parkway railway station – with ample parking at the centre of a new multi modal transport hub.

 

  • New homes - looking directly towards the local economies of Bognor and Littlehampton.

 

  • Expanded marina facilities at Littlehampton
