Application Number: AWDM/1906/20

Site:

Land And New Roundabout Northern Boundary Of A27 To East And West Of Coombes Road Old Shoreham Road

Proposal:

Highway works comprising; (1) construction of a highway (a Fourth Arm) from the approved New Monks Farm A27 roundabout to Coombes Road (west) along with associated hard and soft landscaping, and; (2) closure of the existing Coombes Road (east) junction with the A27 and its replacement with landscaping.  The application is accompanied by an Environmental Statement.

 

The Head of Planning and Development began his presentation by providing Members’ with a description of the planning application for their consideration, and advised the report had been lengthy due to a large amount of necessary supporting information.  

 

Members were shown the New Monks Farm (NMF) Masterplan for the development of the 600 dwellings, the IKEA store, the Country Park, and new school approved as part of the development.  He explained the access strategy approved had been for a new roundabout to serve both the new development and the 25,000 sq metres approved at Shoreham Airport.  

 

The Officer stated the new roundabout was an essential part of the infrastructure supporting the NMF development. He explained the NMF application had been through a lengthy process and had been deferred at one point due to the Planning Committee’s particular concerns about the lack of a 4th arm, which this application sought to address.  The approved scheme closed the existing signalised junction at Coombes Road, including the pedestrian crossing point, but retained a left in and left out junction for Coombes Road.  The Officer advised a number of concerns had been raised on the original application, particularly by Lancing College, in relation to the proposal for Coombes Road.  

 

By way of further plans and photographs, the Head of Planning and Development briefed the Committee Members on the details of the application for the 4th arm.  He advised the application involved a small section of land within Adur but the majority of the site lay within the South Downs National Park (SDNP).  The application is due to be considered by the National Park Committee on 12th August 2021.

 

The Officer advised there was the potential need for a Legal Agreement in connection with the planning application and said that if Members supported the proposal, the decision would need to be delegated back to the Head of Planning and Development to secure this to ensure that the original provisions contained within the NMF development were linked to the new permission for the 4th arm.

 

The Officer stated concerns had been raised on the impact the proposal could have on Non-Motorised Users (NMUs) and in particular, on existing Coombes Road traffic, existing residential properties and other businesses served by the road.

 

The Officer summarised the additional representations which had been received after the report had been completed.  

 

The Officer advised that with regard to the statutory consultees, no objection had been raised on noise, vibration or air quality grounds, and both the Highway Authority and West  ...  view the full minutes text for item ADC-PC/22/21-22
