Having looked at CDC's proposed local plan for 2019 to 2035, I am concerned that the planned 125 extra houses for Loxwood village, plus the 60 houses already in build as part of current development plans will cause a breakdown in the community as our services will be unable to cope with the new homes and residents.

The main road through the village is getting busier and busier, new houses in the village along with the developents just north in Alfold, Surrey will create a traffic problem.

Our school is only just below maximum intake. So we can't have any more young families in the village.

I believe Southern Water do not have a budget for much needed improvements in the local sewage system. The development at Loxwood Green has already spilt sewage onto the road.

Public transport is almost non existent in and out of Loxwood.

I am totally against this requirement for a large increase in the size of the village. Surely housing should be spread as evenly as possible throughout many villages in the area to dilute the impact on local services.
