Damaging route

Contrary to what many seem to think, the current Arundel bypass proposal does not go through Binsted or Binsted Woods.

Many past proposals did, but they were abandoned after much campaigning in the early 1990s. The western end of the current ‘Pink/Blue’ preferred route (chosen in 1993) goes across Tortington Common.

However, that is still massively damaging. Tortington Common and Binsted Woods are now in the South Downs National Park.
