Highways

The site is bound by Harrier Way to the north, which will provide access to the site.

Two bus stops are located in close proximity to the site, providing connections to Petersfield Town Centre and to the railway station. The site also benefits from a pedestrian link along the northern side of Harrier Road, while a National Cycle Route runs nearby. Vehicular access to the site will remain in the same location as the existing, along the northern boundary with Winkfield Court, following discussions with the Local Highways Authority.

The proposal also associated car parking spaces for McCarthy Stone residents, staff, and visitors, including provision of disabled spaces and charging points for electric vehicles.

The level of parking provision has been discussed with officers at South Downs National Park Authority and considers the low levels of traffic generation and car ownership associated with this type of development. Its highly sustainable location will mean most residents will not need to rely on a private vehicle.
