I object to this proposal because I do not consider the proposed link road between Birdham Road and Fishbourne Roundabout to be a solution to congestion on A27, or a solution to the problems of access to A27 and Chichester from the Manhood Peninsula. Attempting to facilitate access to and from the Manhood Peninsula in this way will simply move the problem of congestion further along the A286. The link road will become a rat run for all those wanting to avoid the A27 south of Chichester to the Bognor Roundabout, encouraging longer distance traffic to use Wophams Lane and other local roads. It will also encourage westbound traffic from Selsey and Bognor Regis heading for the A27. Visitors heading to and from the Witterings beaches already queue at times in the whole length of A286 back to A27 and a link road would either accelerate the traffic to queue on A286 or block the link road entirely. As this holiday traffic is not related to land allocations and may not occur on an 'average' day (a weekday rush hour when the schools are open), it is is possible that it has not been included in the Traffic Study for the Draft plan. At Fishbourne Roundabout, it is already difficult to emerge from Fishbourne Road because of the volume and speed of traffic travelling west on A27 and it is impossible to see how an additional junction can be added to the roundabout successfully.
