Chichester District Local Plan 2023: The A27 transport and district roundabout plans in pictures

Following a full council meeting of Chichester District Council on Tuesday, January 24 figures for a new housing target as well as improvements to improvements to two A27 roundabouts in the district.

Following on the discussion, the councillors agreed to put the Plan out to a six week consultation.

Transport plays a large part in the plan, not least the need to improve the A27.

It was estimated that junction improvements along the road would cost between £90m and £135m – a bill which cannot be met through developer contributions alone.

Two schemes were recommended for inclusion in the Plan – the Fishbourne Road roundabout and Terminus Road Link (A259), which would cost between £9.5m and £12.9m; and the Bognor Road Roundabout and Vinnetrow Road Link, which would cost between £19.4m and £30.4m.
