Annex SCHEMES TO BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED March 2010 Background This document is called “Schemes to be progressed if developer funding is secured” and is also known as the “Blue Book”. In line with latest national guidance (see below), County and District Councils have developed a structured approach to the identification of transport needs related to development proposals. This aims, in particular, to improve the link between meeting the needs of development and the aims of the Local Transport Plan. The County Council’s Works Programme and Forward Programme are produced annually to list the highways and transport schemes to be progressed with the funds available. This year, the Forward Programme has been extended to include schemes that have been identified, in liaison with the Local Planning Authorities, as meeting LTP objectives but that cannot be progressed within available funding. Developer contributions will be sought towards these schemes, where they are seen to meet the needs of development proposals. This extended Forward Programme has been subject to consultation and will be supported by District Councils and used to assist the development control process. The programme will be updated each year and it is intended to engage wider community interests in developing and updating the programme in future years. Planning Context Planning Policy Guidance Note 13 : Transport requires authorities to demonstrate a linkage between land use planning and transport policies and objectives. PPG13 recognises that: • Local Transport Plans have a central role in co-ordinating and improving local transport provision and should relate to measures which form part of the local approach to the integration of planning and transport. • Development Plan allocations and local transport priorities and investment should be closely linked. 1 Annex • Local Authorities should ensure that their strategies on parking, traffic and demand management are consistent with their overall strategy on planning and transport. • Local Authorities should take into account the potential for changing overall travel patterns, for instance by improving the sustainability of existing developments through a fully co- ordinated approach of development plan allocations and transport improvements. • In determining Planning Applications, local authorities, in conjunction with work on the local transport plan: - should negotiate improvements to public transport as part of development proposals; - create more direct, safe and secure walking routes; - assist in the completion of the national cycle network, and additional key links to and from the network, as well as promoting local networks. • Local planning authorities should take a more pro-active approach towards the implementation of planning policies on transport, and should set out sufficient detail in their development plans to provide a transparent basis for negotiation with developers on the use of planning obligations as appropriate, to deliver more sustainable transport solutions. • Planning obligations may be used to achieve improvements to public transport, walking, and cycling, where such measures would be likely to influence travel patterns to the site involved, either on their own or as part of a package of measures. • Planning obligations should be based around securing improved accessibility to sites by all modes, with the emphasis on achieving the greatest degree of access by public transport, walking and cycling. The approach being adopted in West Sussex is consistent with this guidance. When considering the impacts of development (including the cumulative impact of smaller development sites) and the means of mitigating these impacts, schemes within the extended Works Programme will be given priority. This has the advantage of ensuring 2 Annex that contributions are sought towards transport improvements that are clearly identified, are supported locally and will support LTP objectives, hence addressing the issue of the integration of transport and planning that is at the core of PPG13. It may be necessary for development to contribute towards measures not included in the Forward Programme or this list, which should not be taken as a complete record of needs. For major development a transport assessment will still be necessary and measures to mitigate the impacts of the development, beyond the measures identified in this programme, may still be required. The allocation of contributions to schemes identified in the Forward Programme must be clearly justified and in accordance with the usual statutory policy tests. Within the existing policy framework it is expected that contributions may be required to improve access to a site or to mitigate the impact of traffic generated by the development on the safety and convenience of existing road users, in particular vulnerable road users. Improvements secured must be related to the development. It must be recognised that although all proposals highlighted in the extended Works Programme are considered to be beneficial and will assist the achievement of LTP objectives, current funding will not support the early implementation of the majority of the schemes highlighted. Where this is the case, proposals may only be progressed if funds, primarily through developer contributions, become available. This document will be updated annually. 3 Annex Table of Contents District/Borough Page SCHEMES DEFERRED FROM 2010/11 CAPITAL PROGRAMME 5 ADUR DISTRICT 8 ARUN DISTRICT 12 CHICHESTER DISTRICT 20 CRAWLEY BOROUGH 34 HORSHAM DISTRICT 44 MID SUSSEX DISTRICT 61 WORTHING BOROUGH 72 4 Annex SCHEMES DEFERRED FROM 2010/11 CAPITAL PROGRAMME Parish Description NMI1145 Nyetimber Lane, Rose Green Infant Aldwick School Safer Routes to School NMI1164 The Angmering School, St Wilfrid's Catholic and St Margaret's CE Primary Schools Angmering School Safety Zone RSS0186 Bolney to Haywards Heath Route Safety Ansty & Staplefield Scheme NMI0573 St Marks School, Brantridge Lane & Ansty & Staplefield Cuckfield Road, Staplefield Safer Routes to School RSS0217 Whiteways to Arundel Route Safety Arundel Scheme Bognor Regis NMI1211 Bognor Regis Nursery School NMI1131 London Road Near Chanctonbury Road Burgess Hill Pedestrian crossing NMI1238 Burgess Hill Green Circle Network Burgess Hill footway improvements NMI1140 Kingsham Road near Boys School Chichester Pedestrian Crossing Chichester NMI1007 South Bank Signed cycle route Chichester NMI1008 Oaklands Way cycle Route NMI1010 Summersdale Road, College Lane, Chichester Wellington Road, The Broadway Cycle routes NMI1011 Barnfield Drive, Bradshaw Road, Southdown Close, Swanfield Drive and Park Cycle Chichester Link Chichester MJR0127 Chichester Bus and Rail Interchange MJR0128 A27 Chi By-pass Supporting Road Chichester network Chichester (Western) - NMI1215 Parklands CP School School Safety Zone Parish Unknown RSS0229 Cocking to Chichester Route Safety Cocking Scheme PTI0117 Various Purchase of buses/minibuses for County-Wide Public Transport NMI0377 Small scale Community Safety and Street County-Wide Scene Improvements County-Wide NMI1012 Cycle Routes Design Fees RSS0241 Consultancy cost of delivering Local County-Wide Safety Schemes Programme.
