That is the basis for Chichester City Council’s ‘strong objection’ for phase one of the 1,600-home application for land to the west of Chichester.
Speaking at a city council meeting last Wednesday, cllr Richard Ploughman said: “I think the thing which actually worries us most, and is very recent, is the proposed access route for construction vehicles for phase one.

I think this is very new information, the amount of construction traffic needed for 750 houses is a huge amount of lorries, who will all be going up that road.”
Cllr Ploughman added: “Without a second access to the site I think that is unacceptable.”
The site is within the Chichester local plan and 1,000 of the total 1,600 homes would be built by 2029.
