Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035
Representation ID: 1053
Received: 04/02/2019
Respondent: Mr Simon Bates
Loxwood doesn't have the infrastructure for 125 additional houses, particularly in terms of sewerage capacity and waste water treatment. There were terrible floods a few years ago due to blocked drains and culverts.
There is no public transport in Loxwood and roads are generally very poorly maintained. There are also no employment opportunities, so residents have to commute by road.
There is little local demand for open market and affordable housing, most people move from outside the locality.
125 houses are clearly developer led, contradict Loxwood's current Neighbourhood Plan and are not needed or sustainable as defined by NPPF.
