Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 2696

Received: 06/02/2019

Respondent: Sue Pullen

Representation Summary:

Loxwood.

My principal reasons for objecting are;

* The sewage system is already inadequate and causes problems for some
residents.

* The B2133 and Station Road are extremely busy roads used by commuters as well as local people. The number of Lorries and cars driving through the village is continually increasing.

* Despite a 30 mile speed limit through the centre of the village Loxwood is becoming a more dangerous place for pedestrians to walk round.

* Parking outside the local shop/post office, butcher and hairdressers is very
inadequate and dangerous. Parked vehicles frequently obstruct visibility.

I am writing to object to CDC's proposals in its new Local Plan to allow developers to build at least another 125 houses in the village of Loxwood.

In the existing Local Plan I understood that Loxwood, Kirdford and Wisborough Green were each allocated 60 houses which seemed a more sustainable and fairer distribution economically, socially and environmentally between these three Service Villages.

I lived near the village of Plaistow for 55 years and only moved to Loxwood less then four years ago. I know the area well and considered carefully the Loxwood Neighbourhood Plan before buying my current property. It is very worrying to think that this semi rural village may now be subjected to over development which if not controlled and managed properly could cause significant problems for the community in the future and effect the quality of residents lives.
