26th Nov Mayday Action Group Protest Over Inadequate Town-Planning/Infrastructure for New Harbour Area Housing Developments

26th Nov Mayday Action Group Protest Over Inadequate Town-Planning/Infrastructure for New Harbour Area Housing Developments

Comments 3 Comments

Update Mayday Action achieved a fantastic action all along the coast between Havant and Chichester. A diverse range of community groups all joined together along the A259 to express their concerns over large scale housing development with apparently little or no town planning that addresses transport, drainage, civic centres, and transport infrastructure (including provision for walking and cycling). Chicycle supporters joined the event leaving from Chichester Market Cross at 10:00am and ended up at the Bosham roundabout by 12:00 midday….

Objections to Planning Application 22/01485/OUTEIA

Comments 1 Comment

Too many issues for ChiCycle to send in one objection letter to the planning authorities. For this reason, ChiCycle will send a series of objection letters, with each one covering a specific issue/topics concerning lack of opportunities for walking and cycling. Objection on grounds that the Transport Assessment makes misleading claims about the quality of proposed transport…

Critical look at Paul Wreyford’s Alternative Access Road link proposal for Planning Application 22/01485/OUTEIA

Critical look at Paul Wreyford’s Alternative Access Road link proposal for Planning Application 22/01485/OUTEIA

Comments 3 Comments

Update ChiCycle have reworked Jubb drawing No SK_C019 to show a modified version of Option2 (the Paul Wreyford Concept). We have some doubts about the design because it may increase congestion for motor-vehicle users but it does leave a viable/direct/convenient cycle and walking route intact along Westgate. The motor traffic figures the developers rely on to justify their choice of Option1A, require a substantial modal shift towards walking and cycling. This is not a realistic expectation because the Option1A solution…

Chichester City Council Recommend Consideration of Alternative Transport Solutions for Connecting New West of Chichester Development onto A27 is now to be Considered

Comments 1 Comment

Chichester City Council met for a Special Meeting of the Planning and Conservation Committee held on 28 July 2022. This was to discuss planning application 22/01485/OUTEIA It was noted that National Highways are now concerned about the developments impact on the Strategic Road Network (SRN). This is likely because congestion from the college roundabout will be exacerbated by the additional traffic from the development and this is likely to tail back onto the A27 trunk road causing traffic jams around…
