kilometres north west of the site providing access to services to London Victoria.
Additional rail services are available via the 291 bus service, which routes to Three
Bridges to provide access to the Southern Railways Mainline. Services link to other retail
and employment centres of Brighton, Worthing and Chichester. The site is accessible via
regular bus services accessible from bus stops along the A22 Lewes Road. A Travel Plan
Statement (TPS) has been prepared for the site in accordance with WSCC guidance. The
TPSt will seek to encourage sustainable travel behaviour to and from the site.

The previous 3 years personal injury accident data has been checked and this indicates
no accidents have been recorded that involve pedestrians or cyclists within the
immediate vicinity. There is no evidence to suggest that the existing arrangements for
pedestrians are inadequate or result in safety issues.
Conclusion-Based on the information submitted in support of the application, the LHA
does not consider that the proposed would have ‘severe’ residual impact on the operation
of the highway network, therefore is not contrary to the National Planning Policy
Framework (para 108), and that there are no transport grounds to resist the proposal.

In the event that planning consent is granted, the following conditions are
recommended:
