Improvements to the A27 contentious locally. RIS 1 consultation in 2016 resulted in no consensus . Local Plan consultation 2018, generated significant feedback particularly regarding restricting local movements at key junctions and the Stockbridge Link Road, where the proposals were similar to those options robustly rejected in the RIS 1 consultation. No details provided on representative selection for TIMG, nor how local residents will be consulted on the delivery of any changes as part of the monitor and manage process. Could present an opportunity for circumventing legitimate local concerns and feedback on any proposals to be delivered under this group.
Better explanation of the setup and selection of group members and clear detail around the accountability of the group to members of District and County Council and members of the public should be included in the Local Plan.

The plan is not sound in that it is unsustainable in relation to transport links. WSCC ATS 7.47 recognises that rural bus services are not frequent and do not present an attractive alternative to private car use. ATS 7.46 describes rail transport as typically slow and uncompetitive with travelling by private car. There is no rails service within reasonable distance of the development [Tangmere] so traffic is likely to increase substantially with consequent impact on the environment.
Modification of the plan to reduce or cancel the development to a level consistent with public transport infrastructure capacity to protect the environment of the village [Tangmere].

8.13 Will not get the best outcomes unless includes active travel representatives e.g. Sustrans, and more importantly TIMG needs people with an understanding of access and what people need and different innovative ways of providing that access to move the focus away from a presumption that road transport is required to provide access. Need to change the mindset from people need to travel to people need access, then focus on providing access within local communities and to public transport where people need access unable to be provided within their local communities.
