The locations and level of housing will not minimise the need to travel by car. The A27 improvements need to be in place before the housing before it becomes impossible to travel and the climate change targets are breached. Public transport requires increased capacity, infrastructure and frequency which will need considerable investment. Is this going to be provided by Southern Rail and Stagecoach? Where is the collaboration? The West Sussex Bus Plan does not address how this will happen. There is too heavy a reliance on developer contributions for all aspects of travel, including local networks and active travel.
