I object most strongly to the proposed development of 125 new houses in Loxwood.
SUSTAINABILITY
The infrastructure of this village is being tested in the extreme with flooding of the stream
and the sewage overflow of the new houses at Loxwood Green. I understand that the local water company has no current plans to rectify these problems.
The busy B2133 runs through the village. This meets the A281 at Alfold. Both these roads are full of traffic and more houses in Loxwood, probably with 2 cars each, with commuting owners would make the problem even worse, the roads could not cope. There is no work in the village, just 4 shops, so all newcomers would have to commute to Guildford/London, using these roads making the traffic far worse.
The village primary school is full, has no free places and 125 houses would most certainly have children as residents.
The village doctors surgery is very full, and would not be able to cope with such an influx of new residents.
These points do not meet the sustainability requirements for the village and are therefore not Sound.
OTHER VILLAGES
It is wrong that Loxwood been singled out for such a large development whereas Wisborough Green has been required to take a development of only 25 houses and the other neighbouring villages, Plaistow, Ifold and Kirdford have not been required to build any. This seems to me to be totally unfair - surely the Council's requirements for new housing should be spread evenly through the villages that are not within the South Downs National Park.
