We are concerned that the increase in housing will cause significant traffic problems through over capacity both on the A27 and other parts of the road network BEFORE any improvements can be made. The necessary road network improvements are totally dependent on developer contributions. This is a risky strategy.
There is not enough in the plan to provide new infrastructure or public transport services or reducing reliance on private cars. Too many houses are located in areas where cars will be used on a daily basis for education, employment, recreation and everyday facilities.
