Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4196

Received: 15/03/2023

Respondent: Chidham and Hambrook Parish Council

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? Yes

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

There is nothing in the Plan to show how a sustainable and integrated transport system is to be achieved . Where are the consultations with Southern Rail and Stagecoach? The highway improvements to the A27 west of Chichester will not be achieved until AFTER the housing is built. No highway improvements, cycling or walking routes are planned for the A259 which will be under severe pressure from increasing numbers of cars because the transport infrastructure is not adequate to move residents away from their cars.

Change suggested by respondent:

Plan for an integrated public transport system
