Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 454

Received: 02/02/2019

Respondent: Mr Neil Hipkiss

Representation Summary:

A27:J14 (Stockbridge);J15 (Whyke)
The PBA Report(pp67-68) states there will be banned right turns at these junctions.
This will be incredibly disruptive and inconvenient for all residents of the area.
Figs.7.5/7.6 also show arrows in North/South directions that imply there are no right turns onto the A27 (see attached).
This requires urgent clarification.
Whilst I understand that keeping the flow of through traffic is important, it should not be done to the detriment and inconvenience of local traffic.
Appendix F (Journey Times) to the PBA Report does not include a comparison of journeys impacted by the "No Right Turn" restrictions.

A27:J14 (Stockbridge);J15 (Whyke)
The PBA Report(pp67-68) states there will be banned right turns "...from the A27 onto Stockbridge Road" and "...from the A27 onto B2145 Whyke Road". This will be incredibly disruptive and inconvenient for all residents of the area.
Figs.7.5/7.6 also show arrows in North/South directions that imply there are no right turns onto the A27 either (see attached). If this is not the case, the diagrams and/or text should be modified to ensure clarity and that meaningful consultation is permitted.
Whilst I understand that keeping the flow of through traffic is important, it should not be done to the detriment and inconvenience of local traffic.
