Rejected petition Reconsider Approved A27 plans due to New monks farm, Lancing, development

Brighton and hove Albion FC and Adur council have recently approved a development of 600 homes and the building of Ikea on the south side of the A27 in Lancing, West Sussex

the consideration of traffic volume and solution to providing access is wholly inadequate for purpose and will lead to chaos

More details

whilst plans for housing are welcomed, using the main A27 as access by placing another roundabout on a very busy road that already needs attention by the government will not help the situation locally.

where a mini fly over to another tunnel through cissbury hill to lyons farm, worthing

along existing sompting bypass bending up via dankton lane to another tunnel which then meets at sussex pad joining the shoreham fly over

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local planning issues are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

Once an application is made for the development to take place, all local residents have the right to request that a planning application be ‘called in’ by the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government. This means that it will assess the planning application against certain criteria and decide if a full inquiry is needed. For more information, including the criteria and how to request the call in of a planning application, see:

You could also contact your local MP, who may wish to request the decision is called in if they agree with you. You can use this page to find out who your local MP is and how to contact them:
