Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 3833

Received: 23/02/2023

Respondent: Mrs Clare Gordon-Pullar

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Chichester residents have already rejected Highways Agency proposals for the A27 which included building a new link road to the Fishbourne roundabout / making changes to roundabouts.
This consultation refers to proposed changes but with no description so consultees are not able to make representations.
A left turn at the Stockbridge roundabout is used to justify the new relief road as traffic couldn't cross the A27. It forces traffic to travel to the nearest roundabout to turn round to return in the opposite direction and causing congestion at roundabouts and roads.
It will turn residential streets into rat runs.

Change suggested by respondent:

The proposed changes to junctions on the A27 and proposed new road building should be explained in the Local Plan and consultees given the opportunity to understand what these proposals actually mean and then comment on them.
