This report summarised the technical appraisal of several alternative options for the Scheme and the findings of a non-statutory public consultation which was held between 22 August 2017 and 16 October 2017 (the 2017 Public Consultation). A Preferred Route (PR) for the Scheme was then announced in May 20182 (the 2018 Preferred Route Announcement (PRA)). In October 2018 Highways England announced a further non-statutory public consultation on route options3 (the Further Consultation). This decision was informed by development of the Preferred Route since its announcement and to ensure continued engagement on project planning and development. 1 Highways England, “A27 Arundel Bypass Scheme Assessment Report,” May 2018.

This formed part of the consultation documents for the further non-statutory public consultation, which was held between 30th August 2019 to 24th October 2019. It reported on the Scheme’s history, existing conditions, the development of route options and the appraisal of the short-listed options. Errata documents were published in September 20195 and February 20206 correcting errors in the Interim SAR. This SAR updates the Interim Scheme Assessment report, providing a summary of the consultation and recommends Highways England’s Preferred Route. 1.1.1.3 A decision on whether or not to approve the preferred option will be made by the relevant Highways England investment decision committee (IDC). The decision would be made public in a new PRA. 1.1.1.4 Highways England would then develop the PR and the Scheme would undergo additional public consultation, including a period of statutory consultation, before submission of a Development Consent Order (DCO) application. The DCO application would be examined by Appointed Persons’ called the Examining Authority who would then make a recommendation on the application scheme, after which the Secretary of State (SoS) would decide on whether to make or refuse development consent. Once a decision is made there is a period to challenge. Once an Order is made the development can commence in accordance with the terms of the DCO and certified documents. 4 Highways England “Interim Scheme Assessment Report,” August 2019 [online].

It links many of the towns and cities along the south coast, including Portsmouth, Havant, Chichester, Arundel, Worthing, Adur, Brighton and Hove, Lewes, and Eastbourne serving a combined population of around 1.2 million people7, as well as a large number of businesses. The A27 also provides access to the wider Strategic Road Network (SRN) and is therefore an important corridor for both longer distance travel (67%) and local traffic (33%)8. West Sussex also attracts, on average, 17 million visitor days per year, contributing over £500 million to the local economy9. 1.2.1.2 The A27 through Arundel is currently operating at over 100% of capacity. 1.2.1.3 Population estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that Arun is the most populous district in West Sussex, and it represents 19% of the county’s population. Arun has one of the highest new housing targets in West Sussex, with the target of an additional 20,000 new residential dwellings by 203110. The existing journey to work information for West Sussex and Arun District indicates that a high proportion of working age residents moving into these new dwellings are likely to commute to their place of work by car, adding to the pressure on the road network. 1.2.1.4 On either side of Arundel, the A27 is a dual carriageway which has the capacity to carry existing traffic flows and can cope with future traffic growth. However, the single carriageway section and junctions through Arundel do not cope with the existing traffic during peak periods, particularly on the section to the west of Crossbush where the Average Annual Daily traffic (AADT) is over 32,000 vehicles per day11. This often results in long queues of traffic approaching Arundel. 7 Nomis. Official labour market statistics.

  • Passenger Information During Snow Disruption December 2010
    Passenger information during snow disruption December 2010 A Rail passenger Information during snow disruption December 2010 Headline Findings 1. The National Rail Enquiries (NRE) website appears to have coped well with very high volumes 2. The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies (TOCs) 3. The online journey planners on TOC and third-party websites did not generally reflect the contingency timetables in operation 4. Tickets continued to be available for sale online for many trains that would not run 5. Station displays appear to have reflected formal contingency timetables, except for Southeastern 6. Station displays and online Live Departure Boards did not always keep pace with events 7. The NRE call centres appear to have provided good information, but queuing times of 11 or 12 minutes were common. 1 The National Rail Enquiries appears to have coped well with very high volumes We saw no evidence that the NRE website crashed or was slower than usual, despite a large spike in volume (Chris Scoggins reported that the volume on 2 December was twice the previous record peak on 7 January 2010). 2 The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies NRE had to advise passengers not to use the journey planner for enquiries about East Coast, Southeastern and South West Trains. This was a significant failure, with three scenarios: 2a Although the journey planner showed services from a contingency timetable for East Coast on 1 and 2 December, it also showed services from the base timetable that were no longer running.

Introduction 2. State of the Town 3. Vision & Objectives 4. Planning Policies 5. Delivery Plan 6. Proposals Map Appendix A: Schedule of Evidence Arundel Neighbourhood Plan: Submission Plan November 2013 2 Foreword Arundel is a very special place, with a long history. Its position between the South Downs and the sea, with the river Arun running though it and the magnificent skyline sets it apart from all other towns in Sussex and the South East. The recent Arun Leisure and Culture Strategy identified Arundel as one of the most attractive heritage towns in the country. In March 2013 The Times listed Arundel at the top of a list of the “Best Towns to Live in Britain”. Those of us who live here and those who visit as tourists, friends and family or nearby residents all value what Arundel has to offer, and the Arundel Neighbourhood Plan sets a vision and objectives to protect and enhance these fine attributes of the town for the enjoyment of future generations. Arundel is developing fast in the 21 st Century as a modern market town, heritage and cultural centre and a place for leisure experience seekers. This mix of development needs to be carefully managed, within local planning policy, to protect the town and to proceed in line with the wishes of local people.

    Agenda Item 6 Report PC 75/13 Report to Planning Committee Date 12 September 2013 By Director of Planning Local Authority SDNPA (Arun District) Application Number SDNP/12/01594/FUL Applicant Mr and Mrs D and K Searle Application Change of use of land to a private gypsy and traveller caravan site consisting of 8 no. permanent residential pitches, play area and landscaping. Address The Former Petrol Filling Station, Land Lying South Of former A27, Poling, Arundel Purpose of Report The application is reported to Committee for a decision. Recommendation: That planning permission be granted for the reason and subject to the conditions in paragraph 10.1 of this report. Executive Summary The proposal is for the site to be a permanent gypsy and traveller site for 8 pitches. The application has been considered against the criteria set out on the Planning Policy for Traveller Sites 2012 and found to meet the criteria. The development is acknowledged to affect to some degree the character and setting of this part of the South Downs National Park in terms of its impact on rural tranquillity. Whilst it is acknowledged that this is a large scale scheme, in a rural location, it is considered that when balanced against the need for gypsy and traveller sites, and given the design, layout and appearance can be justified notwithstanding its rural location and countryside policies. The Highway Authority has raised no objection to the scheme. Comments and concerns raised by the community in relation to planning issues include the lack of need for such permanent sites, adverse impact on the landscape, overdevelopment and highway safety.
