Regarding the Peter Brett Associates (PBA) report:
-harm to local and regional economy due to piecemeal introduction of A27 measures over protracted period will need quantifying as Mott McDonald did in 2016 -Para 1.3.2 makes clear the limited life of the PBA mitigations which need to be tempered by the comment in the fourth bullet at the bottom of page xviii;
-4.4.1 congestion at peak times: changing travel behaviour is difficult or impossible for many-especially through traffic: increase in peak period conditions is more likely and has been taking place for some time already, therefore -Para 4.4.3: a 5% reduction in traffic through modal shift is a facile construct with which to suggest the scale of the problem will be eased;
-7.4.17 Jct 10 and Fig 7.15 This merely moves traffic congestion from the
A27 Roundabout to this new junction and will increase collision risk as traffic jostles and approaches the next roundabout at Sherbourne Road, the College, and the end of Cathedral Way
-7.5.8 Link road and Fishbourne A27 junction: a further collision hazard -the link road combined with no right turns at Stockbridge ad Whyke is fraught with complications for the junction between A286 and narrow and windy Wophams Lane and beyond to Green Lane, B2201, and Hunston. Figures for volume changes at some junctions are given, but base levels are not..
-Rat running around the N of the city may be reduced, but not through the City. A host of new problems will arise around the already problematic south and the Peninsula, as drivers invent new ways of avoiding right turn restrictions.
increase in HGVs will have a disproportionately negative effect on congestion and air quality on the unsuitable local roads: conflicts with Para 5.18 of Transport Infrastructure section; -Appendix K Item 3: Wophams Lane, on page 4 hints at one example, but more over a wider area come easily to mind; -A serious injury accident before midday Saturday 2nd Feb blocked the A 286/Wophams Lane junction for hours. During that time two additional collisions occurred on Wophams Lane itself and on the B2201 respectively; the ensuing chaos which extended as far south as Almodington and Earnley, sadly provided a foretaste of what might come.

Regarding the Local Plan document:
-Stockbridge link road mentioned twice in S 23: fourth and seventh bullet; -Paras 5.21, 5.22, 5,23, referring to the A27 and northern bypass not reflected in S23 -No mention of noise in S 23 -Peter Brett Associates Stockbridge link road and junction changes is Option 2/ 3 hybrid-both rejected in 2016 HE consultation
- limited achievement of improved safety, city access, congestion; in
2016 HE modelling shown to be inferior to other options, in particular in the longer term.
- no separation of local and through traffic --Para 5.24 CDC June 2018 resolution to support a northern bypass in the
future: not reflected in the Policy
-£6m to £8m cost of non strategic link road will likely not be financially supported by HE: S106 and S178 will be insufficient to fund link road let alone PBA mitigation measures at £65m to £68m: developers will not fund such a figure and go elsewhere..
-most serious aspect is air quality which is dealt with very sketchily in PBA report; needs a much more intelligible report before local plan review draft is agreed and published and presented for Examination in Public

SUMMARY

Invidious to propose the off line link road/restricted turning measures again when these have been so roundly rejected more than once, shown to be short term, and of limited effectiveness against HE monetised criteria in the very comprehensive and clear Mott McDonald reports for HE in 2016.
Drip feed of funding will mean protracted construction periods over years punctuated by setbacks and inactivity..It is questionable whether all measures will ever be fully introduced in which case the CIty, the Manhood, and the wider area will be left with an unsafe, economically and environmentally damaging number of white elephants..


CHANGE TO PLAN

-Delete one reference to the Link road
-The measures shown must more clearly satisfy two further aims: to be for the long term, and not cause harm to the environment or unacceptable noise ,
- a much clearer report with monetised outputs must be commissioned on how PBA measures achieve sustainable improvement in the three AQMAs; -reduction in noise, accident rates, light pollution, and congestion over the long term needs to be demonstrated in monetised outputs;
- CDC's June 2018 resolution to support a northern bypass must be included in Policy S 23 as an aim; -insert additional comment between 5.26 and 5.27 as follows: 'meanwhile the likely alignments of a northern route as identified in existing 2016 HE studies will be safeguarded against other development' ; include same in Policy S23 -Third bullet in Policy S23 : change 'Planning to achieve...' to 'Requirement to achieve....'
