At peak times Google maps advises avoiding the A27 and going through the city when driving east/west from Tangmere. The bypass (built in 1930) and constantly modified is totally at maximum capacity. Building 1300 new home in the village [Tangmere] plus the existing work at Fontwell and proposed building at North Bersted will result in gridlock. This is without taking into account more building west of the city toward Havant. There has not been a rail link for Tangmere since 1962 and the 55 bus is expensive and has a very limited capacity and timetable.
Reduce building on green field sites. Use existing property, the spaces above shops in the city are dark at night. Use the existing green field sites, close to the city and thus less car use. Visit European cities where it is common and cheap to live centrally.
