Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission
8.3
Representation ID: 3918

Respondent: lavant parish council
The lack of any improvements to the A27 has resulted, as predicted when CDC/WSCC rejected £350m previous funding, in severe road congestion and rat running in surrounding villages and local roads. Discussions with Lavant PC and others must commence immediately and funding must be set aside to implement mitigation measures

Policy T1 has been developed to mitigate the impact of planned development on the Strategic Road Network, improve highway safety and air quality and promote more sustainable travel patterns and encourage increased use of sustainable modes of travel

This "kicks the can down the road". RIS3 funding remains most uncertain as RIS2 funding was rejected by CDC/WSCC and the A27 at Chichester remains a pipeline project.
Evidence that all funding avenues have been explored to enable a holistic solution for A27 junction improvements to be implemented is unclear. In particular is there funding available via the Major Roads Network package? This is presumably available for the A259 Bognor Road junction? Before CDC/ WSCC jeopardised access to MRN funds by removing the A286 south on unproven grounds this would have facilitated the required Stockbridge Link Road .
CDC in collaboration with WSCC and National Highways need to have a convincing plan that the A27 junction upgrade cannot be funded in its entirety

The Local Plan Transport Study (2024) and Transport Background Paper explain the options that have been assessed and the reason the Council is following the strategy set out in Policy T1.
In order to deliver additional housing in the plan area the local authority must deliver infrastructure improvements.
Policy T1 states that new development will be phased to align with the provision of new transport infrastructure and the Local Plan Transport Study (2024) sets out the current position on infrastructure costs and funding availability.
