I would like to express my concern at the number of additional houses that have been allocated to Loxwood. 125 additional houses in a small rural Parish with some 600 houses and 1200 residents is excessive. In addition the sewage system is already running at capacity and these houses plus those already under construction will take it well over capacity and there are no plans to upgrade the sewer.
I believe the allocation is unfair given that the neighbouring Parishes of Kirdford and Wisborough Green have been allocated 0 and 25 houses respectively.
The allocation appears to have been dictated solely by land owners or developers offering sites rather than any assessment of housing need.
