As a local resident of Loxwood I am concerned about the proposed allocation of additional housing within the village. The proposed plan seems to be not sound, not giving regard to its sustainability with the lack of public transportation, limited capacity of schooling, lack of demand for housing local employees and lack of capacity of our sewage system.

We already have new housing being built in the village and it appears that the allocation is completely unbalanced when compared with other similar sized villages in the district.

Whilst I appreciate there is a national housing need, the allocation needs to be reviewed.
