Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4660

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Mr Allen McDonald

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Under item 11, it is unclear that a single access to/from the site via Shopwyke Road will be adequate for this size of development. Access to the A27 via Longacres Way is already difficult due to the speed differential between the left out junction and the 70mph A27 speed limit and the need to cross over to the far lane to access Chichester. The plans do not specify improvements to Tangmere Road and Drayton Road as alternative routes. No impact of the development at Tangmere on Western Avenue, Longacres Way, Tangmere Road and Drayton Road has been referenced.

Change suggested by respondent:

Further work is required on the vehicular access to the proposed site to establish the full impact on and measures required to the local roads before the development is approved.
