Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission
Representation ID: 4900
Received: 17/03/2023
Respondent: Manhood Peninsular Action Group
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Current proposals will do nothing to improve the traffic flow on the A27
Relying on developers contributions to resolve the issues of over capacity on the A27 is totally inadequate..It will not help local traffic and through traffic will suffer further delays of a much long duration.
There needs to be substantial investment from Highways England to provide more capacity and reduce the accidents occurring on this road.
Contributions to the two A27 roundabouts for the uncommitted housing, 3351, about 40% of
total, is assessed at £7,728 per house at current prices. This is 4 times higher than
current level of £1,803. Nowhere does there appear to be an assessment as to whether this
is viable for the land developers and house buyers. Viability is a key test with regard to
deliverability but the Plan is silent on this key issue. So, is the plan deliverable? Does it
further price first-time buyers out of the market. Chichester
has already one of the highest Ratio of Affordability in Sussex .
