Representation ID: 4938

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: Ms Jacqueline Jones

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

110 dwellings on Basin Rd car park area would increase traffic onto Basin Road which is already subject to high levels of congestion and pollution. Furthermore upgrade of A27, main access into and out of Chichester via existing Southern gateway routes, has been abandoned by Highways England. Consequently any further housing/commercial developments will exacerbate existing traffic/pollution problems in Gateway areas

Change suggested by respondent:

Over arching and consistent planning which takes into consideration long term development of Chichester holistically should be adopted rather than knee jerk patchwork of small localities development
