ISBN: 0-86260-543-1 Kieran Stigant Director for Environment and Development February 2005 West Sussex Structure Plan 2001-2016 February 2005 Adopted on 25 October 2004 following the resolution of County Council on 23 July 2004 Kieran Stigant Director for Environment and Development West Sussex County Council County Hall Chichester West Sussex PO19 1RQ January 2005 [Page No.] Foreword A Message from the Cabinet Member for Strategic Environmental Services The Structure Plan sets out our strategic planning framework and guides the way West Sussex will grow and develop during the years leading up to 2016 and beyond. We have planned positively for the future to improve the quality of life for everyone in West Sussex. The Plan is the result of several years' technical work and extensive consultations with our residents and businesses. We have listened carefully to the views of the public and many organisations, and have worked with the District and Borough Councils in coming up with this new Plan for the future of West Sussex. The overriding message from the public and our partners was loud and clear: meet the needs of communities and businesses but protect the character of West Sussex and the environment in general. Our Vision for West Sussex to 2016 and beyond reflects this message strongly: we want West Sussex to continue to be a county with a network of small to medium-sized towns and villages, where people feel that the countryside is never far away and where social and economic needs are met in high quality environments. Our Strategy to deliver this Vision has three elements: regenerating the coastal area; managing the pressure for economic growth in the north east of the County; and meeting the needs of rural communities. The delivery of development has been clearly linked with the absolute need to have in place the necessary infrastructure needed to support it so that existing services do not buckle under the strain. I believe that we have put in place a sound and robust development plan for West Sussex that will strike the right balance between meeting the social and economic needs of our County and protecting its special character and environment. The adopted Plan will provide the benchmark for the way that strategic decisions on new development proposed in West Sussex are considered. February 2005 i Foreword West Sussex Structure Plan 2001-2016 Various modifications have been made during the preparation of the Plan arising from the responses received during the consultation processes. It may seem like a long, drawn out process but I believe that this has helped develop a Plan which is clear in its vision, aims, and strategy and which has widespread support. I would like to thank everyone who has taken part in the debate.

West Sussex remains essentially rural in character despite the rapid expansion of the urban areas which has taken place over the last 50 years. It is an attractive and desirable place in which to live, work and play, and to visit. We want this to continue for current and future generations and for everyone in the community and we want the County, its urban and rural areas and communities, to be as identifiable in 2016 as it is today. This Plan, the West Sussex Structure Plan 2001-2016, with other plans and strategies, has a key role to play in achieving this goal. Our Vision for West Sussex 2. The Plan sets out our Vision for West Sussex to 2016 and beyond which is shared by the District and Borough Councils: we want West Sussex to continue to be a county with a network of small to medium-sized towns and villages, where people feel that the countryside is never far away and where social and economic needs are met in high quality environments. 3. The Vision is about promoting, in all our urban and rural areas, wider economic health and prosperity (particularly of our coastal towns), social progress and environmental protection. It is about protecting the countryside and enhancing its value to the whole community, and setting a pattern for what our towns and villages will look like in the future. We will support the development of mixed and balanced communities which meet the needs of all for homes and jobs, as well as for other facilities and services such as shops, health, education, leisure and community uses. Although new development is inevitable, there is a need to ensure that it is of high quality, whatever it is for and wherever it is located, and that the least harm is caused and that the most benefits are secured, particularly to the environment. 4. The Structure Plan contributes to this Vision, and to the County Council’s overall aim to improve the quality of life in the County, by guiding and controlling future land-use and development. We recognise that realising the Vision and Strategy of this Plan depends upon partnerships with other organisations and is subject to changes at the local, regional, and national levels. For example, these could include changes to national planning guidance, to regional planning guidance, and in the national economy. However, as far as it is possible, the Plan creates the necessary certainty and confidence for residents, businesses, developers and service and other infrastructure providers to make their own plans for the future. 5. The shared Vision is reflected in the Plan’s three interrelated aims. These aims take account of the views of residents and businesses about the future of West Sussex and the concerns of the different agencies and organisations working in the County. The aims are: • to meet the diverse needs of our communities and businesses; • to protect the distinctive character of our towns and villages, countryside and coast; and • to protect the environment and use our natural resources and assets wisely. Realising the Vision 6. We want to plan positively to ensure that the needs of the residents of West Sussex for homes and jobs are met and that services and facilities are retained and improved.

  • Annex SCHEMES to BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED
    Annex SCHEMES TO BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED March 2009 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.

This document describes our Penalty Fares Scheme for the purposes of rule 3.2 b. 1.2 We have decided to introduce a Penalty Fares Scheme because the previous operator of the railway passenger services comprised of the Thameslink Great Northern franchise, First Capital Connect and Southern Railways, operated a Penalty Fares Scheme in such franchise area and the experience has proved that it is an efficient means to deter ticketless travel. In addition, once some Southeastern routes and stations are integrated into the TSGN franchise from 14 December 2014 and once the entire current Southern franchise is integrated into the TSGN franchise on 26th July 2015, it is important that there is consistency across all franchise areas (as Southeastern and Southern both also operate a Penalty Fares Scheme); so as to avoid causing confusion for our passengers. This scheme will now include all stations under schemes previously operated by Govia Thameslink Railway Limited and Southern Railway Limited.

  • The Gibb Report – an Assessment
    UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM PRESTIGE LECTURE 3rd October 2017 The Gibb Report – An Assessment by Piers Connor1 Background to the Gibb Report In September 2014, a new company, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), was given the contract to run train services operated over the Thameslink, Great Northern, Gatwick Express and Southern Railway. In the year leading up to the summer of 2016, the performance of the Southern Railway, the part of the Govia Thameslink Railway covering the suburban and south coast services between London and a large section of the southern coast of England, deteriorated to a level where passenger dissatisfaction was leading to public demonstrations and persistent media criticism. Eventually, the government was forced to act and they decided to commission a review of Southern and its service performance.
