A27 Chichester Bypass Mitigation Supplementary Planning Document - August 2023
Background
Representation ID: 6371
Received: 31/10/2023
Respondent: East Wittering & Bracklesham Parish Council
The A27 is the responsibility of National Highways, the effect over time of the framing of the Local Plan before it was adopted and the consequent need to introduce the 2016 SPD and now its inevitable review, is that CDC has been forced into the position where it is held solely responsible, not just for junctions, but for the actual roundabouts on the A27.

The 2016 Planning Obligations & Affordable Housing SPD

Pressing National Highways for funding will be fruitless as it regards CDC as solely responsible. CDC needs to demonstrate to our MP (not to National Highways) the pressing need for her to engage with the SoS for Transport to bring the A27 at Chichester out of its current uncommitted ‘pipeline’ ranking in RIS 4 (2030 to 2035) back to RIS 3 (2025 to 2030)

The bypass at Chichester is running over-capacity has been evident to all for years-including National Highways. Funds to deal with mitigations on four roundabouts in an over-capacity scenario are unachievable: this supports the point 2.1 that the bypass is the responsibility of National Highways to deal with. The A27 at Chichester must be brought into RIS 3. The ‘Monitor and Manage’ approach ‘try to provide additional reductions in trips on the network .....etc’ (Para 2.11) on only two of four roundabouts is not an effective solution , is an open-ended endorsement of an unacceptable situation.

The figures provided indicate it would take seven years to collect the funds for two roundabouts at Chichester (3551 dwellings @ 535 annually-Para 4.9 and to be updated Para 4.12)-the ‘reduced mitigation package. Traffic and costs will rise to the extent that modelling will show that a periodic SPD revision is needed to raise the amounts to be charged. The result will be never to achieve a moving financial target (Para 4.7) while traffic conditions continue to worsen. As long as National Highways cannot be satisfied, the Plan will not be adopted leaving the District open to continuing speculative development.

The impact of development on the A27 Chichester Bypass

The A27 key strategic corridor and a distributor road for local traffic with five junctions and a set of traffic lights on three-mile stretch Competes with through traffic. This cannot be the sole responsibility of CDC and the effects of its future Local Plan, as Para 4.13 suggests. Stretching the interpretation of NPPF 110d in the extreme: appears to be National Highways’ intent. Section 05 of https://nationalhighways.co.uk/RS-South-Coast-Central ‘Challenges and Issues’ indicates the pressing need for a solution. indicated before in 2017. A scheme for Chichester in RIS 3 needs to be pursued through the MP with the SoS.

Index-linking Contributions

Paras 5.9 and 5.10 set out how developer contributions will be index-linked for price fluctuations in road construction tenders and contracts. How the cost of future ‘creep’ of National Highway requirements will be allowed for is not covered: this presents an open-ended situation without any limits on National Highways but putting the onus on CDC to catch up and carry out future SPD reviews
