Representation ID: 1496

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Mr Derrick pope

Representation Summary:

Development in East Wittering/ Bracklesham should not be permitted to commence until a Highways England scheme for the relief of A27 has been implemented. The parameters of the Traffic Study are such that traffic congestion on A286 West Manhood has not been surveyed and growth factors not related to the approved and draft local plans are not considered.
Tourism and traffic accidents cause complete logjam on local roads, isolating coastal communities. Long term improvements for access to Chichester and A27 is vital infrastructure for further development on West Manhood. Junction improvements are not the answer.
