Current News
After getting planning permission to develop the field, we started planting an assortment of native trees in Autumn 2010. We have planted numerous trees including White Willow and are developing a dedicated wildlife zone to enhance the existing flora and fauna. There will also be an area for the children to play and for grown-ups to stroll and watch the sun set over Arundel and its Castle. ‘Twitchers’ should watch out for the many birds including the reed warblers, sky larks, and bats.
Since the Lyminster bypass opened on 9th May 2025, we have witnessed many more birds of prey in our area, and have regular murmurations of starlings in the trees on our South boundary.
Although still limited in number, we are seeing increasingly diverse wildflowers appearing and are adding to these with a special mix cultivated in Chichester.
A new laundry was built within existing buildings in March 2012 using eco friendly washing machines & dryers.
We have sourced greener lighting including solar PIRs.
