National Highways Consultation A27 Arundel Bypass: Approval of WSCC Consultation Response

The A27 Arundel Bypass has been included in the Government’s Roads Investment Strategy (2020-25).  In 2020, National Highways (formerly Highways England) announced the preferred route for the A27 Arundel Bypass, which will replace the existing single carriageway road with a dual carriageway bypass.  The proposed bypass will feature approximately 8km of dual carriageway to the south of the existing A27. 

 

The proposal, the A27 Arundel Bypass, is a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project requiring a Development Consent Order (DCO) from the Secretary of State (rather than planning permission from the local planning authority).  The County Council is a statutory consultee in the DCO process.

 

Formal consultation on the proposal is taking place from 11 January to 8 March 2022.

 

The Cabinet will be recommended to approve the County Council’s response to the formal consultation on 15 March 2022 (as agreed with National Highways).
