Revisit Southern Gateway taking idea from Gateway + to improve transport and interchange
In spite of the adoption by the Council of a masterplan which" provides detailed guidance on the expectation for development" I feel that this site is so important that it must be re-visited in the context of the Local Plan. the plans for the level crossing are messy and mixed and much more consideration needs to be given to the ideas from the Gateway+ team , such as the limited size underpass. The area must be provided with good transport interchange facilities, attractive access into the city centre, and avoidance of any "traffic roundabout feel". In addition to affordable housing, provision should be made for cultural and possible conference facilities. the area is far too important for the city for it to be viewed solely as another opportunity for property profit. An excellent example of what can be done in just such an area, is the new "Depot" in Lewes. If they can do it - so can Chichester!
