Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4049

Received: 14/03/2023

Respondent: Donnington Parish Council

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

CATM model calibrated and validated using 2014 data not taking account of developments such as Chichester Free School adjacent to A27 Whyke roundabout. Transport assessment states "all junctions on the A27 Bypass are over capacity in one or both modelled peak hours". Only 28% of traffic growth due to Local Plan development. Improvements only to Fishbourne and Bognor Roundabouts so over capacity issues still remain at other roundabouts. Plan does not effectively mitigate the impact of additional growth and is adding further demand.

Change suggested by respondent:

Housing number should be further challenged on this basis.
