Decision details

The County Council received an application from Steyning Parish Council for a new traffic regulation order (TRO) for a speed limit reduction from the existing National Speed limit to proposed new 50mph and 40mph speed limits on various sections of the A283.

The proposed new 50mph speed limit would extend 200m east from the junction of the B2135 southward for approximately 1700m where a 40mph would be introduced southwards to join up with the existing 40mph restriction near High Trees Roundabout.

The proposals were advertised between 23 Jan 2025 and 13 Feb 2025. Nineteen objections to the proposed scheme were received which have been summarised and responded to in Appendix B to this report. Thirty comments of support were received.

Sussex Police and the local member for Bramber Castle Cllr Paul Linehan have reviewed comments following public advertisement and have expressed no objection to the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) to be implemented as advertised.

The Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, having considered the objections to the proposals, authorises the Director of Law and Assurance to make the Traffic Regulation Order as advertised and for the restrictions (as set out in section 2 of the report) to be implemented.
