Arundel is a market town and civil parish in the Arun District of the South Downs, West Sussex, England.
The County Council, as the Highway Authority, has a duty to assert and protect the rights of the public to the use and enjoyment of the highway under Section 130 of the Highways Act 1980, any purchaser of this land should be aware that they will need to contact the highway authority before carrying out any development, which includes fencing or obstructing the land in any way or the removal of anything currently on it.
***TRANSPORT IN ARUNDEL***
Arundel includes meadows to the south but is clustered north of the A27 road, which narrowly avoids the town centre by a short and congested single carriageway bypass. Plans for a more extensive, high-quality dual carriageway bypass were debated intensely between 1980 and 2010 and a junction was built for it at Crossbush.
