We consider the approach of housing allocation and defining settlement boundaries via neighbourhood plans and parish allocations to be ‘ineffective’ and ‘unjustified’.
In relation to Loxwood for example, the settlement boundary as defined by the Neighbourhood Plan is
not representative of the current village and its settlement, or suitably reflective of the levels of housing
growth and allocations required.
Whilst it is agreed that Loxwood should be subject to non-strategic housing allocations, we cannot support this Policy H3, based on its reliance on Policy H2 and neighbourhood plan allocations.
The Local Plan should allocate sites at a District Level, and not delegate to Neighbourhood Plans.
Please refer to attached supporting document. Policy H3 is discussed on page 13.
