Representation ID: 4023

Received: 13/03/2023

Respondent: Mrs ALISON REDFORD

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Shop and post office closed in September 2022 we have been promised a new shop at Nursery Green but still no sign?
Surgery frequently struggling for staff and very difficult to get appointments.
School is at capacity.
Sewage, water issues still not resolved.
Current bus timetable inadequate despite a lot of new developments in recent years.
I do not believe there is a further housing need in Loxwood & there is very little employment.
2021 census shows Loxwood had a population of 1597.
Are we still a village or is CDC making us into a town?

Change suggested by respondent:

All of this part of the plan needs to be changed to consider reducing the allocation of dwellings. It should be noted that despite the recent developments here in recent years, the infrastructure and water/drainage issues have not been resolved or improved. In deed one new development is now having a cesspit emptied daily. CDC must realise that Loxwood does not have the infrastructure in place for mass development and should not be considered as a service village.
