Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035
Representation ID: 92

Respondent: Dr Carolyn Cobbold
Without a long term robust solution to the A27, Chichester will continue to act as a rat run for traffic avoiding the southern ring road. The junction changes will not solve the lack of road capacity for through and local traffic and restricting right hand turning at junctions will make local journeys more difficult. More traffic caused by more housing in the area (especially in communities away from the rail network) with no increase in road capacity will make an increase in sustainable travel such as cycling more difficult to achieve.
