This Policy is insufficiently developed to be meaningful. There is nothing in the Evidence Base (as at the last afternoon for public consultation) in relation to "the forthcoming Chichester Vision - Transport Feasibility Study", which means that no-one taking part in this consultation can be expected to know what this Policy S14 means!
This Policy is crucial to the Plan's Strategic Objectives, including for "safe, clean" communities and Health and Well-Being, as well as Environment. I strongly object to it being brought forward for consultation without adequate detail. This aspect of the Plan should be re-opened for public consultation when CDC can evidence the aforementioned Transport Feasibility Study and respondents are able to consider the full picture. More needs to be done to support non-vehicular transport for all, not simply reducing traffic congestion and improving safety at key junctions for vehicles. In line with the Strategic Objective for communities to "help shape the area in which they live", "relevant organisations" with which CDC promises to work MUST include our communities, such as Parklands (where we are awaiting a report by Living Streets on an extensive Community Street Audit, which we may wish to submit as evidence).
N.B. As a Committee member of Parklands' Residents' Association (PRA), please note that PRA may wish to pursue this subject with CDC and with the Inspector at Examination in Public, if it is not adequately addressed.
Also, as a volunteer Chichester Tree Warden, Chichester Tree Wardens may wish to pursue the subject of policy relating to trees in the context of Policy S14 Chichester City Transport Strategy.
