Re: South Downs' National Park Inquiry starts by Anonymous on Friday, 03 June 2005

Hiya, I'm doin the paper this summer too. I found it helpful to look up other examples of Bypasses - see what the issues involved were, and see if you can apply them to Arundel. Also, research the type of land the bypass is gonna be built on (figure 3) and what impact thats likely to have. Look at the cost of the bypass not just in monetary terms but in the impact on ancient woodlands, water meadows, etc. I found this quote:

'Impact of Arundel Bypass- The model was used to assess the impact of theArundel bypass on traffic flows in Worthing. The model indicated that traffic flows on the Arundel road would be increased by 5% and Sompting Way by 2%. Thus the completion of the Arundel bypass had a small impact on flows on the A27. Much of this additional traffic has diverted from the A259 and A272'
