The A27 Southerham to Beddingham Improvement is currently under construction between Southerham and Beddingham roundabouts south east of Lewes in East Sussex and is scheduled to be completed in Summer 2008.

The section of A27 between Southerham and Beddingham roundabouts is being improved to provide two lanes westbound and one lane eastbound although remains a single carriageway. It is necessary on safety grounds to ban certain movements to and from the trunk road between Southerham roundabout to a point approximately 180 metres east of Beddingham roundabout both from existing highways and from some private means of access.

Islands are provided to separate the eastbound and westbound lanes opposite Southerham Lane, the Travellers Site operated by East Sussex County Council, Coriecollies Kennels and Ranscombe Lane to prevent banned turning movements. This Order also bans on safety grounds, U-turn movements at either ends of these islands.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
