The representation that the East West Corridor has the ‘best transport connections … with the A27 and railway running throughout.’
This is a gross generalisation. When you take the newly proposed Settlement Hub of Tangmere the nearest access to rail is 10 kilometres, to Chichester station to the west and Barnham Station to the East.
A non existent option for anything other than connecting by a bus, car or taxi or non existent safe cycle route.
There is a lack of rail infrastructure for the majority of development in this Corridor.
Clean up this statement to read the proposed Tangmere Settlement Hub of some 6000 people will lack any direct access to rail services without a 10 kilometre journey by road. This is a recognised weakness in the plan.
