Developer contributions sought for improvements to these two roundabout junctions are from residential development and exclude contributions from retail development. Inconsistent with CDC’s adopted CIL charging schedule. No reason or justification for omitting contributions from retail developments has been given. Chichester Transport Study (2023) comments that forecast growth is likely to be lower than currently predicted within transport model, and mitigation identified “may not be required in the future”. Given this uncertainty, SATURN modelling outputs cannot be relied upon to determine nature of any improvements that may or may not be required at these junctions. As such, mitigation identified may not actually be required in the future. Requested per dwelling contribution set out in paragraph 8.21 of Plan does not meet tests set out in CIL regulations and is therefore inconsistent with national policy.
Requested per dwelling contribution set out in paragraph 8.21 of Plan needs to be clarified and based on actual works/detailed costings for these junction improvements unknown at present. Financial contribution sought should be related to likely impact that development will have on junctions. Developments on fringes of southern part of plan area less likely to generate traffic at these junctions and any financial contributions should reflect this.
Existing housing allocations in made Neighbourhood Plans should not be required to pay financial contributions towards the improvement works at these two A27 junctions as already planned and in the system.
