Please consider this letter my formal objection to the plans for the proposed development of 125 homes in Loxwood Village. Having considered the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework I find the proposition for Loxwood to be completely unacceptable and furthermore failing to deliver sustainable development.

My main reasons for objection are as follows:
1. Loxwood is a small village with beautiful surrounding countryside, any development would ruin the feel of the village and consequently the value of the village and its houses.
2. The additional residents would put additional strain on the limited resources of the village, specifically the school and doctors.
3. Loxwood suffers from issues surround surface water and sewage. With the sewage system acknowledging by the council as no longer fit for purpose. Any further strain would surely break the system.
4. The road is in poor condition and already too busy. No crossing for children to walk to school is even available let alone anyone speed calming measures! Further traffic from this development would literally present a greater risk to life.
5. Limited infrastructure in Loxwood means no job prospects for future residents in the village. Travel for work would be required and no public transport links exist bar one daily bus!
6. Loxwood housing struggles to sell and a specific demographic resides here. There is simply no supply for open market housing of this proposed type and volume.

In summary I do not believe Chichester District Council has followed the national planing guidance in developing its draft plan for Loxwood and I formally object.
