Councillor Richard Kennett who writes I confirm my support of this call in."
Councillor Rosy Raines (to retire immediately after the election of the Mayor for 24/25) who writes "Please can I confirm my support of this call in."
Councillor Clare Satchwell who writes In the addendum the Hayling Billy Line is identified (incorrectly as Chapter 6 but it is actually Chapter 7) as not only a route that could be developed for cyclists but one that could be suitable in emergencies. There is no plan to protect this shoreline from erosion or flooding. The area is unlit and therefore significant additional work may be required to understand if it can contribute towards mitigation. The proposed amendment to the Hayling Transport assessment is not coupled with the amendment for the mainland. I believe that the two should go hand in hand to ensure we understand them together. Housing developments should not be progressed which will be impacted by the current 1.4 mtrs projections flood projections. Flood risk brings into question the sustainability of Hayling Island development generally. From a transport perspective some of the areas related to mitigation are affected by flooding. The Addendum seems to be restricted primarily just to the junction and friction items, how was this decided and what solutions (other than those in the original transport assessment) were considered and not included. HBC documents show that the population of Hayling increases by 20-25% during the summer months yet the transport assessment and the attendant microsimulation does not consider this fact. HBC has not considered the cumulative effects of both Local Plan developments and windfall developments together (or has not included it in published documents). Hayling Island has changed considerably since the 2011 census baselines the TA uses; after all, it is only a few months to the next census. Whilst I appreciate the use of census data is the norm; databases maintained by HBC will be able to demonstrate a more accurate level of population and therefore transport infrastructure loading. The use of 2011 census data that informs the TA is at best inaccurate and worst deceptive These data sources would include approved planning applications, Council tax registrations and the electoral register.
