Purpose

The A259 Bognor Regis to
Littlehampton Corridor enhancement scheme involves improvement to a
series of key junctions along the corridor, including junction
capacity, active travel and bus priority provisions. It was
identified as a priority scheme in the Strategic
Transport Investment Programme by the County Council in 2019/20
and considered as one of the top ten priority schemes in the South
East by Transport for the South East.
 
The proposed scheme involves
improvement to a series of key junctions along the corridor,
including junction capacity, non-motorised and bus users’
infrastructure provisions and was subject to a public consultation
in summer 2021.
 
The Department for Transport
(DfT) approved the Strategic Outline Case in autumn 2021 and, in
March 2022, the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport
authorised the Assistant Director (Highways, Transport and
Planning) to prepare and submit the Outline Business Case (OBC) to
the DfT.
 
Following two public
consultations, the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport

confirmed the preferred scheme in summer 2023.

Decision

The Assistant Director (Highways, Transport
and Planning) has approved the submission of the Outline Business
Case to the DfT for consideration and approval.
