Consider the amount of houses allocated to Loxwood is made on an unsound basis. The bus service is extremely limited and not suitable for seeking or maintaining employment without a car. The sewage infrastructure is beyond breaking point and new developments are already having to use temporary inadequate solutions. The environmental constraints have worsened since last assessed and doubling the size of Loxwood with new houses wont deliver biodiversity net gain. The issue of water neutrality has not been resolved. There is no shop and the village infrastructure is under huge pressure.
Remove Loxwood from Strategic Location status. Respect the agreed Loxwood Local Plan which identified through local consultation and referendum the extra houses the village could sustain.
