Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 3834

Received: 23/02/2023

Respondent: Mrs Clare Gordon-Pullar

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The "improvements" at Stockbridge/Whyke roundabouts will cause significant disruption. Residents will turn left and travel to either Bognor/Fishbourne roundabouts, generating more traffic on those roundabouts and roads.
This is the "trigger" for the Link Road. Leave the roundabouts alone and then the Link Road is not needed.
The Link Road will be an eyesore as it will be raised to go over the Canal, ruining the amenity of the Canal and blocking the view of the Cathedral painted by Turner.
Traffic from the south will go through the narrow North Mundham road to reach the Bognor roundabout via Vinnetrow Road

Change suggested by respondent:

The proposed changes to the A27 should be removed from the plan.
Reference should be made to the fact that local residents have already voted on these and rejected them. Given that there is little new development proposed for south of the A27, the Council should look at mitigation measures rather than building a new road or making junction approvements.
