The Newhaven Port Access Road (NPAR) is
identified as a priority in the County Council Plan as well as
within the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership Local
Growth Deal.
WSP hase been the design team since the start of the project and is
responsible for the schemes design. The construction contract is a
“build only” contract and with further highway design
consultancy input being required for the scheme through the
construction phase, it is not desirable to change consultant. WSP
has a huge amount of valuable invested knowledge in the scheme and
if a different consultant were appointed, not only would this
knowledge be lost, but additional time and money would need to be
spent to bring them up to speed, and also for them to review the
design before adopting it as their own.
