Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 3807

Received: 19/02/2023

Respondent: Mr Andrew Gould

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

If all the funding from housing development is going towards the upgrade of Fishbourne and Bognor roundabouts, about 45 million pounds as an upper estimate, and no funding of a similar magnitude is going towards low car neighbouhoods, cycle lanes and active travel, this policy is inconsistent with the rest of the local plan and therefore unsound

Change suggested by respondent:

50 percent of the CIL money, section 106 and other money raised from housing developers will be allocated to cycle lanes, low traffic neighbourhoods and measures that promote low emission travel. This may mean that schemes that are essential to improving car travel on the A27 will need to be delayed or scrapped
