There has to be very careful consideration given to the allocation of 220 houses, with regard to the overwhelmed sewerage and the neeed for careful usage of water in the area.
Reduce the number of house alloation to 125.
Take acount of 17 houses carried forward from the previous Made Neighbourhood Plan.
Recognise that the community believes that 126 houses is possible given the issues relating to sewerage and Water neutrality.
Loxwood Parish Council undertook a revised Neighbourhood Plan. It consulted on an estimation of 125 houses in 2021. Numbers advised by Chichester District Council. The Neighbourhood Plan could not proceed through all the stages as there was no Chichester Loal Plan. The delay has been detrimental to the village as a speculative developer was able to build as there was no Chichester Local Plan. However, the sewerage system in Loxwood is overwhelmed and was identified in 2004 as requiring an upgrade. None has taken place. This speculative developer has what can be best described as a cess pit needing frequent emptying.
