Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 477

Received: 28/01/2019

Respondent: Mr Richard Hutchinson

Representation Summary:

It states that cycling will be promoted as a sustainable method of travel, but there are no defined proposals to encourage it. The only way to seriously promote it is to provide a dedicated cycle route from Chichester into the peninsula and east / west that is separated from road traffic. The subsequent reduction in vehicle traffic would possible mean that many road improvements would not be needed. That would be a better use of S106 / S278 funds than a new link road that will have a major adverse impact on the countryside of this area.
