In retirement Ward presided over an Inquiry into revoking the planning permission, granted in 1973, to United Refineries Ltd for a proposed oil refinery on Canvey Island which reported in March 1981. His findings concerning the British Gas Corporation's methane terminal were disputed by the Health and Safety Executive and the British Gas Corporation and there were doubts about his technical competence: he had conducted the inquiry without the benefit of technical assessors, and had exceeded his terms of reference.
Ward became Commander of British Forces in Hong Kong in 1970, and was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in the 1971 New Year Honours. His final post was as Chief of Personnel and Logistics at the Ministry of Defence from 1974.
