The ‘highly skilled and experienced’ partner will work side-by-side with the council to successfully deliver up to 300 homes, 25,000 square metres of employment floorspace as well as community facilities and other services on the Parsonage Road site.

West Sussex County Council secured outline planning permission for the redevelopment of the former Novartis site back in 2019 from Horsham District Council.

“We are seeking a partner with sound financial capability and a long-term commitment to work side-by-side with the council. We believe this is the best way to successfully deliver the scheme’s ambitions and to provide wider benefits to residents and businesses in the area.”
