I wish to register my objection to the CDC Local Plan for Loxwood for the following reasons.
We are already in the process of building 60 new houses which I did not object to. This plan proposes a further 125 houses in Loxwood but very few in surrounding service villages; the numbers should be distributed more fairly.
The village has existing sewage problems which have been exacerbated by the latest housing development. I understand that Southern Water has stated that they have no plans to update the infrastructure in the near future. Also the village already suffers areas of flooding, more housing will compound this.
There is very little local employment.
Our public transport system provides one bus a day and so residents have to use their own transport to get to a more varied transport system.
The school is nearly full and the site is cramped.
For the above reasons I do not feel that such a large increase in housing in Loxwood would be an asset to the village or attractive to potential purchasers.
