Land at Barnham, Eastergate and Westergate Masterplan 

The Church Commissioners for England, CEG and Hanbury Properties, who control the majority of land within the allocated site of Land at Barnham, Eastergate and Westergate Masterplan , have been working with JTP on an Illustrative Masterplan. 

The purpose of this Illustrative Masterplan is to show how approximately 4,000 new homes could be delivered and how it could integrate with both the realigned A29 and the existing villages. This was exhibited alongside WSCC’s proposals as described above.

Background 

The A29 realignment scheme is an important part of the aims for Arun District, as outlined in the West Sussex Transport Plan. The Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) also shares this vision in its Strategic Economic Plan.

The existing A29 currently experiences traffic congestion during peak periods, especially at the Woodgate level crossing. This has led to unreliable journey times and queuing vehicles, affecting air quality.

The Arun Local Plan has identified that the Barnham, Eastergate and Westergate areas would require additional infrastructure to support planned, local development. Therefore, West Sussex County Council (WSCC) commissioned a feasibility study to refine the design presented in the Arun Local Plan.
