Respondent: Mrs Jane Towers

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

New development is not being directed away from areas where car use would be most prevalent. 2000 homes are planned west of Chichester from Fishbourne to Southbourne. This will not reduce reliance on cars. There are no plans for upgrading or helping to mitigate the pressure on the A259 feeding into the A27.

Change suggested by respondent:

Direct development away from areas where there is reliance on cars in favour of more housing in the city on brownfield sites
