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
