In relation to Chichester City this location is similar to Shopwhyke and so it is essential to learn from the mistakes of Shopwyke that has resulted in what has been built so far being dominated and reliant on car access.

2. This policy is good, as was 1. In the Shopwhyke Policy. Unlike for Shopwhyke this policy must be fulfilled for land East of Chichester and provide good access routes to the city centre by sustainable transport
11 and 12

Support most. 11 and 12. 11 needs to change to exclude off site traffic impacts, except for buses, service and delivery vehicles. Change wording as follows
11. Provide safe and suitable access for all users. Provide or fund improved and new walking and cycle routes that are continuous, direct, safe, attractive and comfortable to the city centre, railway station, and other destinations including grade separated crossings of the A27 ready for use before first occupation. Provide vehicular access from Shopwhyke Road.

Note, GTR will object to this development unless a continuous, direct, safe, attractive, comfortable cycle and walking routes are provided between this development and Chichester railway station.

Because walking and cycle routes is required to be provided or funded in 11. The reference can by removed from 12. Which is therefore focused on bus services Provide for new bus routes to Chichester City Centre and Railway Station.
