Object to Loxwood allocation on following grounds:
- sewage issues
- school capacity
- traffic
- doctors at capacity
- infrastructure at capacity
- unequal distribution of housing
I am staggered and alarmed to learn of the proposal to build a FURTHER 125 houses in Loxwood for the following reasons:
a) having already built more than our fair share of new houses in Loxwood compared with neighbouring villages, a further 125 brings into sharp focus the sustainability of this proposal as the sewage system cannot even cope with the new development at Loxwood Green.
b) the village school is already full
c) the A281 road is already a nightmare and the addition of even more commuters will only exacerbate the situation
d) the Loxwood doctors' surgery is already suffering from overload
e) the village infrastructure is already creaking with all the extra houses built in recent years.
We have a very proactive and resourceful Parish Council who have always produced a realistic development plan. I was led to believe that a proper development plan should prevent excessive building - how come Loxwood is constantly being asked to build more and more houses when our neighbouring villages are not subjected to similar pressures ?
We cannot sustain any further building in this small village and this proposal is not sound.
