Policy S13 Chichester City Development Principles
I support the protection of the views of the Cathedral

Policy S14 Chichester City Transport Strategy
I propose the following aspects are added in:-
a) Replacement of the level crossings in Basin Road and Stockbridge Road by a height limited underpass capable of taking single decker busses and being accommodated between the Kingsham Road junction and extended Avenue de Chartres junction on Basin Road. This would also incorporate a grade separated cycle and footway.
b) Safeguarding of land to enable the expansion of Chichester Railway Station from its present 2 platforms to 4 as envisaged by Network Rail to enable a faster service from Portsmouth to Brighton, and to allow for a fully integrated transport hub for bus and rail services.
c) Safeguarding of land close to the A27fora future "park and ride".
d) Safeguarding of land close to the A27for a "consolidation centre "for break bulk delivery to city centre retail units.

Policy S20; Design
I welcome this proposed additional policy to be used positively to protect our City against the creep of dumbing down with the poor design quality of new housing estates and ill-considered extensions and alterations to existing housing.

Policy S23; Transport and Accessibility
a) This additional policy is welcomed
b) I particularly welcome the proposed new road connecting Birdham Road to the A27 at Fishbourne roundabout. This was known as the Stockbridge Link Road as part of Highways England Option 2in their 2016 ill-fated consultation. I feel other aspects of Option 2 should be allowed for future inclusion particularly the flyovers for the A27 at the Fishbourne and Bognor Road roundabouts.

Policy AL5; Southern Gateway

a) In site specific requirement number 3 I propose " Respect for the historic context, have regard to that part of Southern Gateway that lies within the Conservation Area and to the Listed Buildings and Heritage Aspects and make a positive contribution towards protecting and enhancing the local character and special heritage of the Aareaand important historic viewsespecially those from the Canal and its Basin towards the Cathedral,"
b) I propose you site specific requirement number 4 "provision of a height limited underpass on Basin Road to allow removal of the level crossings on Stockbridge Road and Basin Road.
c) I propose the removal of paragraph 7

Policy AL6; Land South -West of Chichester (Apuldram and Donnington Parishes.
I support this new policy and its land allocation. There should be allocation on this Land for relocating the Bus Garage and Royal Mail Postal Distribution Depot to allow the early freeing up of the existing sites within the Southern Gateway Masterplan.
