Arun District Council is concerned that Chichester District Council's Regulation 19 'A27 Mitigation contributions' is not effective and should account for the cross boundary mitigation contributions and remove the uncertainty over how cross boundary contributions towards schemes such as Bognor Road and Whyke road roundabouts will be pooled to other A27 mitigation solutions such that there are no averse implications for delivering committed developments in Arun and the viability of developments.
The policy table should be updated and modified to reflect the additional cross boundary contributions and how collectively what futher phased A27 mitigation improvements can be achieved to ensure that that there are no averse implications for delivering committed developments in Arun and the viability of developments.
