Transport
As part of the evidence base to support the new Local Plan a Transport Study has been undertaken.
This study considers the potential transport impacts of the new Local Plan development strategy and will identify the package of measures required to achieve the most sustainable outcomes.
A Stage 1 Scoping Report was produced which sets out a high-level assessment of existing travel and transport in the National Park including a connectivity analysis. Based on this review, this includes a transport vision and set of objectives and a proposed methodology for the Stage 2 Assessment, which has been shared with the Local Highway Authorities, National Highways and Active Travel England.
A draft Stage 2 Assessment has been prepared and shared with these stakeholders. Further iterations of this Stage 2 Assessment will be required if there are significant changes to the development strategy, and more detailed transport modelling may be required for the strategic sites.
Transport work for Shoreham Cement Works has been updated in the report below to take account of changing circumstances and Government policy since the last Transport Assessment of this site in 2022, and to test the development proposed in allocation policy SDA30 in the Proposed Submission Local Plan.
