The fire has broken out near the junction with the A29 Stane Street. As a result, part of the road is closed and motorists are being asked to avoid the area.

One Billinghurst resident said: "We saw loads of fire engines heading through the village and up toward the Billingshurst Straight. The last one was a big water tanker."
