Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order authorises an alteration in part of the route of the proposed Brighton Bypass. Construction of the bypass as a trunk road is authorised by the Folkestone-Honiton Trunk Road (A27 Brighton By-Pass and Slip Roads) Order 1984, which defines the route of the bypass and associated slip roads by descriptions in Schedule 2 and by reference to a plan deposited at the Department of Transport.

This Order varies that Order by inserting references to a further plan, also deposited at the Department of Transport, on which the altered section of the route is shown; by providing for the original plan to be disregarded in relation to the section of the route which is to be altered; and by amending the description of the route in Schedule 2 to the Order.
