I am writing to voice my objection of yet more houses being built in the village of Loxwood. We have lived in the village for nearly 14 years and in this time we have seen two new development sites being built. I completely understand the requirement for more housing to be built around the country, however I feel that Loxwood has reached its limit. There are many other small villages nearby such as Kirdford, Plaistow and Ifold. I have not seen or heard of more houses being added to these villages. I know that Wisborough Green has a small development being built, but it is small in comparison to the developments in Loxwood.
We live directly opposite the Nursery Green site and having spoken to some of the new residents I know that they have had to have sewage tanks put in as the local sewage system is already at capacity. Over the years Loxwood has been prone to flooding, and I can only imagine that building more houses will only increase problems in the future.
Having teenage children I am aware of the lack of public transport so any new residents will have to travel by car. The Guildford Road is already very busy and it can easily become congested at peak times.
I feel that Chichester District Council needs to look more widely at the area and consider the implications on the residents and the environment of Loxwood.
