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

Representation Summary:

Current proposals will do nothing to improve the traffic flow on the A27

Change suggested by respondent:

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.

Full text:

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 .
