INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT CONTEXT BACKGROUND 1.1.1. The completion of the Newhaven Port Access Road (NPAR) is a priority investment in the delivery of growth and regeneration plans for Newhaven. Newhaven has been prioritised as a growth location in a range of strategic growth plans, including the Coast to Capital and South East Local Economic Partnerships’ Strategic Economic Plans and the Greater Brighton City Deal. Designation of the Newhaven Enterprise Zone in April 2017 has confirmed the importance attached to Newhaven’s future growth and economic regeneration by the Government and partner agencies in East Sussex. 1.1.2. The NPAR (See Figure 1) runs between the A259 into Newhaven Port. Phase 1 of the NPAR, running from the A259 to Pargut roundabout, was completed in 2015 as part of the Eastside development, a residential development of 190 units. 1.1.3. Phase 1a, the subject of this business case, will complete the NPAR connection with the Port of Newhaven, enabling the relief of the existing local road network from port-related traffic by creating a direct link to the wider strategic road network – the A26 north to Beddingham and the A27. To complete the scheme, Phase 1a will connect the new Pargut roundabout near Eastside Business Park into the eastern side of the Port. This requires bridging of the existing Newhaven – Seaford railway line and Mill Creek. 1.1.4. Completion of the NPAR will play a key role in enhancing the strategic connectivity of Newhaven as an economic centre in the Greater Brighton City Region. This will improve the attractiveness of Newhaven as an investment choice for local and regional businesses and contribute directly to the delivery of the Enterprise Zone objectives for business growth and transformation of the local economy (see Section 2.4). 1.1.5. Importantly, the completion of the NPAR will directly unlock the growth potential of Newhaven Port (see Section 2.6), a critical national and regional economic asset, with current proposals to expand the port facilities and increase both cargo and passenger capacity.

    Submission Document East Sussex, South Downs and Brighton & Hove Waste and Minerals Development Plan Document Waste and Minerals Sustainable Transport Feasibility Study June 2012 Waste & Minerals Sustainable Transport Feasibility Study 1 Introduction1 1 Introduction 1.1 East Sussex County Council, Brighton and Hove City Council and the South Downs National Park Authority (the Authorities) are currently preparing a joint Waste and Minerals Plan Development Plan Document (WMP), formally known as the Core Strategy. The WMP is being prepared in accordance with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and associated regulations and guidance. 1.2 To inform the WMP, this Minerals and Waste Transport Feasibility Study has been undertaken to assess the feasibility of transporting waste and minerals by rail and water into, out of and within the Plan Area. MDS Transmodal were commissioned by the Authorities in November 2008 to provide advice and inputs into the feasibility study, particularly with respect to rail freight and coastal shipping issues. 1.3 The report is a ’living draft’ which presents the evidence as it stands at this stage and will be periodically updated with any new information that comes to light. This will ensure the Councils’ knowledge and understanding of waste and minerals remains robust and the evidence base for the WMDF is ‘sound’. The report is structured as follows: Chapter 2 - outlines planning and transport policy from national to local level with respect to transportation and waste and minerals; Chapter 3 - identifies existing wharf facilities, railway terminals and freight siding facilities in East Sussex and Brighton & Hove (both active and inactive).
