The new draft Chichester District Local Plan proposes to allocate a further 125 houses in Loxwood, but this does not meet the tests of sustainability for the following reasons:-
1 The sewage infrastructure has no more capacity
2 The only public transport is one bus a day
3 Residents have to commute to work
4 Loxwood has no demand for open market housing
The CDC has not followed national planning guidance as no parish consultations took place about site allocations and no effort was made to share the new houses across the three parishes defined by CDC as "service villages", being Kirdford, Plaistow/Ifold and Wisborough Green.
