The new road going North would destroy the South Downs environment in the Goodwood area but would not solve the traffic problems. Stop this new road going ahead, please!

This new northern route would be disastrous on a number of fronts. Upgrade the existing.

It is too late to replace the countryside once it has been ripped up, Do we want another noisy concrete jungle? We have to think what the generations after us will make of all this.

There have been many thoughtless decisions about how transport weaves its way through Britain, with far too much loss of what has given it a unique "character." Too much concrete! The Beeching Axe was a disaster..

So much at stake, for what? That which is proposed won't solve the problem and will just be wanton destruction of a beautiful part of Sussex.

The Northern route will divide a wonderful part of Sussex without any benefit to the local community .
A more reasonable and possibly more cost effective way would be to pursue the upgrade of the original route as planned in the past.

As a former resident for 20 years I was aghast when I heard about this dreadful idea! A northern bypass will surround this beautiful city of Chichester by tarmac and destroy it's wonderful setting amidst the South Downs. A series of upgrades and improvements to the existing route is the only way forward!

An ill thought out idea which will not resolve any of the actual issues, but will cause a lot of destruction to a beautiful area.

Mr Tyrie, it would be a travesty to allow such a senseless bypass to go ahead. I wonder how this sits with Mott Macdonalds mission statement:
"Make the world you love.’ That’s what drives our passion for creating ideas that improve life. Our engineering, management and development teams combine the power of ingenuity with personal aspiration to change our world for good – for our clients, for everyone touched by their projects, even generations to come."
Sounds like they need to eat their own dogfood...?

Once again short term policies threaten long term damage to Britain's countryside heritage. Once built this route would be with us forever at the expense of the loss of another slice of rural England. Improving the existing A27 is the environmentally less damaging option rather than taking the admittedly easier choice of sacrificing yet more of our rural heritage.

William Blake was inspired to write the words used in the hymn "Jerusalem" whilst viewing the beautiful South Downs from the village of Lavant. How can our West Sussex County Councillors even contemplate such a sacrilegious betrayal of our national heritage?

Do not take short term easy solutions that will destroy local communities and countryside forever, but take a long term approach to improving the A27's current route.

Transport provides the largest emissions (including VW models) and we should be seeking sustainable solutions including public transport and NOT destroying open countryside which supports a range of rare species and now forms the edge of the South Downs National Park.
Another case of rural vandalism ?
