Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 353

Received: 24/01/2019

Respondent: Mr Paul Sansby

Representation Summary:

The proposals for cycle tracks and bridges at Portfield and Shopwyke seem to be at the expense of the existing cycle route from Tangmere to Chichester. This is very well used route but no attempt has been made to enhance the pavement at Westhampnett. No off road cycle route was included in the Rolls Royce or recent housing developments. If a bridge is provided at the Portfield roundabout, as proposed, where does the cycle route go on the western side? How does it get to the secondary schools and to the city centre?
