Objections to Planning Application 22/01485/OUTEIA

Comments 1 Comment

There are many problems with the proposals for the West of Chichester Development Southern Access Road (SAR) and the 2nd phase of development. 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

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…

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).

Phase2 West of Chichester Outline Application Disregards Walking and Cycling National Standards

Phase2 West of Chichester Outline Application Disregards Walking and Cycling National Standards

This will break the connection of National Cycle Route No2 (South Coast Cycle Route) through the west of the city. This will end cycling aa practical, convenient form of transit in the west of Chichester and along the coast to Fishbourne and Bosham. Quiet roads…
