Representation ID: 3847

Received: 25/02/2023

Respondent: Mr simon urry

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

This Objective highlights/prioritises the mitigation of impacts on the A27, implying that other areas will be developed with a weaker view on any detrimental effects and development along the A27 will be delayed. The A27 is struggling to cope and needs work whatever other development happens. The A27 corridor should be seen as an opportunity for a joined up approach to a major infrastructure and housing plan.
Our local water and sewerage systems also struggle and whilst fixing them would allow for more housing it would be a huge expense for relatively small return when compared to the A27 corridor.

Change suggested by respondent:

The plan should be biased towards improvements and development along the A27 and away from inefficient piecemeal building, with each location requiring its own expensive infrastructure upgrades.
