While we support the proposed growth of Loxwood, we wish to highlight that this proposed figure of 220 will not sufficiently meet the objectively assessed need for housing within the District, and should be increased to allow greater housing provision in the North of the Plan Area.
In line with our comments on Policy H1 – Meeting Housing Needs, we propose a greater allocation of dwellings to the sustainable settlement of Loxwood, with a minimum of 300 dwellings, based on the findings of the Sustainability Appraisal (Jan 2023).
In addition to this, we do not support the strategic allocation of housing at a Parish/Neighbourhood
Plan level, and strongly object to proposed provision of 220 dwellings via parish allocations. This is based on the proposed settlement boundary within the Revised Neighbourhood Plan for Loxwood, not adopting appropriate sites for housing.
