Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4440

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Mrs Jane Towers

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

This is an appalling policy. Throughout the Plan there are numerous mentions of integrated public transport systems and moving to alternative forms of transport. And yet you are removing the opportunity to to do just that by having no plan for a transport hub. Those arriviing in the city expect and need to have toilets, information for onward journeys, refreshment and seating areas. Replacing a bus station with a line of bus stops a distance away from the train station is complete folly. Bus travel is dire enough as it is. Look to other cities

Change suggested by respondent:

This policy needs to be completely redesigned to allow for a transport hub incorporating the bus station and the train station.
