A27 Chichester Bypass Mitigation Supplementary Planning Document - August 2023
Updated technical evidence
Representation ID: 6430

Respondent: Sustrans
Background Section 2.11
Mention is made of the need for ‘sustainable Transport measures’ being part of improvements required to the two junctions and ancillary works; however nowhere in the policy does it specify the type of sustainable measures required. The policy needs to amended.
The policy needs to be amended to require that at least 25 % of the financial contributions should be used for sustainable and active travel measures, including mitigation measures to reduce the number of private vehicle trips. See also my objection to submitted Local Plan in relation to Policy 8a, section 8.

Planning Obligations Section 4.1
In quoting from the STANTEC Jan. 2023 no reference is made, other than trip generation, as to how Sustainable and Active travel will be encouraged and provided for in the use of the financial contributions sought. The ‘monitor and manage’ approach seems to assume that the current modal split of use of these junctions and associated roads will continue and be perpetuated when the improvements take place. This in turn will give even greater preference to current road vehicle use. How will modal shift be achieved?
As with my previous objection this requires a clear policy requiring at least 25% of contributions to be spent on sustainable and active travel improvements which will result in reduced trip generation and greater longevity to the necessary improvements. This will, et al, provide better value for money.
