Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Stockbridge Level Crossing
LPC rejects the proposal as outlined simply because it lacks any substance. The issue is outlined in section 4.95 and 5.19. We find the proposed solution as detailed in section 7 of policy AL5 "......, restrict vehicular traffic using the Stockbridge Road level crossing" as insufficient, lacking in any detail to give it any credence. This is a wish, not a policy.

A27.
1. LPC is deeply disappointed that the only improvements envisaged for the A27 are to mitigate the increased traffic from new developments.
2. Given the regrettable loss of the HE 2b proposal, this limited in scope (compared with what was on offer), proposal as outlined in S23 is supported in full.
3. The lack of clarity on costs and source of funds is regrettable. LPC understands that the proposal will cost at least £60Million, sourced from developer contributions. This represents a threefold increase, from the original £20Million from WSCC & CDC in the HE 2b proposal. Clearly other important infrastructure projects will have to be abandoned, how many schools, Doctors' surgeries, elderly people facilities etc will not be built? This has to be made clear, if the community is to support this level self-funding for the roads.

Southern Gateway
The proposal as outlined is a 20th century concept; we live in the 21st Century. High Street retail is in retreat, any proposed increase in retail floor space will be very difficult to fund, and even harder to let. Major chains are in retreat, all predictions are for a major contraction of High Street retailers. This is a flawed plan and must be re-thought as it is simply is undeliverable.

DM8
We would wish to emphasise the importance of established cycle routes, especially
Centurion Way, and the absolute necessity of their upkeep and development in accordance
with NICE guidelines.

NB The overall local transport plan requires a greater focus on increased public transport
plus pedestrian and cycle routes.

S23

In relation to bullet points 8 and 9, we would wish to reiterate the importance of established
cycle routes, especially Centurion Way and the Canal route, and the absolute necessity of
their upkeep and development in accordance with NICE guidelines, and would urge further
development of networked cycle routes

S30

We endorse the overall thrust of the policy but the absolute necessity of applying the
guidelines at 5.67 cannot be stated too often and too strongly.

S22
Heritage assets should also include all historic routes be they pedestrian, cycle, or
vehicular (eg Stane Street, Centurion Way, and 'twittens').
