Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4600

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Mrs Gabrielle Abbott

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Not effective – does not provide sound transport infrastructure planning

Given that it is acknowledged that based on current forecasting junction improvements are required at Stockbridge Roundabout and Whyke Roundabout it is not clear how our highways system will be able to accommodate additional development without the requisite improvements being made here. This conflicts with the stated policy in paragraph 8.6 of the plan.

Change suggested by respondent:

A revised development/transport strategy needs to be articulated which will provide a pathway to ensuring that requisite road improvements to these junctions are made so as to be able to accommodate new development .
