Policy A20 Land South of Bognor Road

Representation ID: 5946

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: GoVia Thameslink Railway

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? Not specified

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

As an employment zone it is critical to be linked with the railway station and residential parts of the city by continuous, direct, safe, attractive, comfortable walking and cycle routes. GTR will object to this development if Active Travel routes from the railway station are not provided to the standard outlined in this consultation response before first occupation so that sustainable travel habit are established from the start without having the much greater challenge of enticing people out of their cars. Therefore change 8 and 9. With references to the infrastructure policy being as described in this consultation response policy T1

Change suggested by respondent:

“Before first occupation, infrastructure must be provided to provide
• continuous, direct, safe, attractive, comfortable walking and cycle routes between this development, railway station, residential parts of the city
• The bridge over the A27 does not follow the desire line, people walking and cycling need to double back on themselves to gain height, therefore add a ramp following the desire line direct into this developmement
• bus lanes reallocating road space between the railway station this development and along the A259 to Bognor Regis to improve bus reliability and journey times for connecting with trains and for journeys from Bognor Regis to facilitate increases of bus frequency and reduce car traffic.
• Subject to traffic flow analysis consider sharing the bus lanes with Larger Goods Vehicles on the A27 and A259 to ensure reliability of goods vehicles servicing this site, the remaining lanes for small vehicles could then be narrowed. Ensure design builds in bus priority at junctions, including roundabouts and where crossing the small vehicle lanes to gain access to the city residential areas and the railway station”

Our response:

Policies T1 and T2 require all development to include such enabling measures to avoid or reduce the need to travel by car. The other points are beyond the scope of what can be achieved within the local plan and are for West Sussex County Council as the highway authority.
