Bognor Regis nursery plans to extend site to increase tree and crop production

Plans have been submitted for an outdoor container tree production facility with multi-span polythene greenhouse to accommodate multiple horticultural crops and a new reservoir at Newlands Nursery and the adjoining field Butterlees, at Pagham Road.

A design and access statement by John Hall Consulting Ltd said Newey Ltd proposes to erect a new greenhouse and tree nursery and to construct a reservoir on land known as Butterlees adjoining Newlands Nursery to grow young trees and multiple horticultural crops.

A 23,598sqm polythene greenhouse is proposed and a reservoir for rainwater harvesting.

"This will reduce the need of the company to grow so many plants on smaller satellite nurseries in the area thereby leading to a substantial reduction in vehicle movements, reducing plant miles and helping the company towards increasing productivity and to reduce its carbon footprint," the statement said.
